Notice of NCAA Probation: From 2007 to 2010 the University of Nebraska unintentionally reimbursed student-athletes for recommended textbooks as well as required textbooks through a failure to properly administer and monitor book scholarships. Only reimbursement for required books is permissible under NCAA rules. As a result, the NCAA placed the University of Nebraska on two-year probation, beginning in January 2012. The NCAA did not impose additional penalties such as loss of scholarships, forfeiture of games, or a ban on postseason play. Rather, as a condition of probation, Nebraska will continue to educate student-athletes and staff thoroughly on NCAA bylaws and will notify prospective student-athletes of its probationary status.

Postgame Interviews: The Nebraska clubhouse is closed to the media at all times. NU players will be available following a brief cooling off period on the baseball field in front of the Nebraska dugout. Nebraska Player & Coaches Headshots: Downloadable headshots of Nebraska coaches and student-athletes are available on Huskers.com for media use only. Contact Baseball Media Relations Director Jeremy Foote at (402) 472-7778 for more information. Media Services: The Nebraska baseball press box is located on the second level of Haymarket Park. Stairs leading to the press box are located by the main entrance of the ballpark. Telephones are provided in the press box and are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with collect or credit card access. The main press box phone number is (402) 434-6861. A fax machine is available at the Media Relations Office (One Memorial Stadium) and requests should be made to Jeremy Foote before or during the game. A phone line is available for both home and visiting radios. Other media sources wishing to install an additional phone line should contact Rick Haugerud, Director of University of Nebraska Telecommunications at (402) 472-2000. Pregame notes, scorecards and media guides will be available prior to each game in the main press area. Final box scores and play-by-play sheets will be distributed 5-10 minutes after each contest. Broadcast Rights: The University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the IMG Husker Sports Network own exclusive radio broadcast rights to all of the University of Nebraska baseball games. Other than the Husker Sports Network and KRNU (the University of Nebraska student station), the only stations or networks that will be allowed to broadcast Nebraska baseball games from Hawks Field at Haymarket Park are those that have rights to broadcast games played by the opposing team. All radio stations and networks broadcasting from Haymarket Park must sign a contract with the University and are subject to a rights fee. Any representative of a radio station or network that has not purchased such rights shall not air live game action or description of any game while it is in progress, nor shall such representatives air tape-recorded or live commentary of Nebraska coaches or players for one hour before and 1/2 hour after a game. Only stations that have purchased broadcast rights may install telephones in the press box, or use telephones in the press box for reporting on games. By accepting media credentials, representatives of stations and networks that have not purchased broadcast rights signify their agreement to the above stipulations. Abuse of this rule will result in the loss of press credentials for both regular season and any postseason contests. Telephones and Internet Access: Telephones are provided in the press box and are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with collect or credit card access. The main press box phone number is (402) 434-6861. The press box at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park also is on a secured wireless network. For more information on the network, contact Assistant Media Relations Director Jeremy Foote. Broadcast Telephone Lines: Visiting radio stations are welcome to have their own telephone lines installed in the press box and may do so by contacting University of Nebraska Information Services (402) 472-2000. However, the Husker Sports Network installs ISDN lines for visiting official broadcasts and charges a fee for the use of those lines for non-conference games (Big Ten official stations receive the use of the lines free of charge as part of a cooperative). Stations interested in using the lines should contact Mike Elliott of the Husker Sports Network at (402) 438-0225 or by e-mail at Mike.Elliott@imgworld.com.

NCAA Compliance Guidelines NCAA Principles • NCAA Definitions • Guidelines and Reminders for Boosters The University of Nebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big Ten Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Huskers throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.
NCAA Principles
Institutional Control It is the responsibility of the University of Nebraska to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA. Responsibility The University of Nebraska’s responsibility for the conduct of its program includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests of the institution. Compliance The University of Nebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA.
Question and Answers for Fans, Boosters, Alumni and Representatives of Athletic Interests
Definitions Q: What is a booster? A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/friends of either. REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What is a Prospective Student-Athlete? A: A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Nebraska booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects. Q: What is a Student-Athlete? A: A student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the Nebraska athletic staff or other representative of athletic interests with a view toward the student’s ultimate participation in the intercollegiate athletic program. Q: What is a contact? A: Contact is ANY face-to-face encounter between a prospect, or the prospect’s parent or legal guardian, and a Nebraska staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs. Q: What is recruiting? A: Recruiting is any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect’s family member (or guardian) by an institutional staff member or by athletic representative of the institution, for the purpose of securing the prospect’s enrollment and ultimate participation in Nebraska’s intercollegiate athletic program.
Guidelines Q: What is a Booster? A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/friends of either. REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What constitutes impermissible contact by a Booster? A: Phone calls to prospects (9th to 12th grade) and their relatives placed for recruiting purposes (questions about the athletic program at UNL must be directed to the coach); writing, paging, text messages or instant messages to a prospect to encourage UNL attendance; contact with a prospect at a high school or club contest; contact with a prospect or his/her coach, principal, or counselor to evaluate the prospect; visiting the prospect’s educational institution to pick up videotape or transcripts for evaluation purposes; contacting a prospect to congratulate him/her for signing a National Letter of Intent to attend UNL; giving anything of value to a prospect to induce him/her to attend UNL; contact of any kind while the prospect is on the UNL campus for an official or unofficial visit. RECRUITING CONTACTS, NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What are the rules of employment for a student-athlete? A: A student-athlete may be employed during the academic year or summer vacation period; receive compensation equal to the going rate for similar services in the locale; receive compensation only for work performed; accept employment from more than one employer and earn unlimited income; receive benefits provided to all other employees; teach sport-related individual skill instruction or fee-for-lesson sessions. A student-athlete may not conduct personal sport camps or promote, market, advertise or endorse a commercial business or product. Only benefits that are authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete. It is not permissible for a student-athlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a “special” arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan. EMPLOYMENT, NCAA BYLAW 12 Q: What are non-permissible benefits? A: Free or reduced-fee housing/rent including the use of vacation or seasonal homes; free or reduced-fee meals; loans or cash advances in pay or salary; tuition costs or school supply expenses; gifts or presents of any type regardless of the occasion or purpose; use of telephone for long distance or use of telephone cards and cell phones; free use of any motor vehicle, boat or recreational vehicle; free use of services (i.e., automobile repair, hair care, laundry, copying, faxing, etc.); free or reduced-fee memberships at golf courses, health clubs, etc. (This list is not exhaustive. Only benefits that are authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete. It is not permissible for a student-athlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a “special” arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan.) BENEFITS AND PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, NCAA BYLAW 16 Q: What type of promotional activities may the student-athlete be permitted to participate? A: Charitable, educational or non-profit promotions and events with requested approval from the Athletic Compliance Office prior to the event. Q: What types of promotional activities are not permissible? A: Any fundraising activity that supports a high school organization or group that assists prospective-aged students; use of his/her name or picture; or appear to promote or market a commercial business or product. PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES, NCAA BYLAW 12 For further information regarding NCAA Guidelines for Athletic Representatives, please contact the athletic compliance office at (402) 472-2042 or 1-(800) 927-7220.

Since its opening in 2002, Hawks Field at Haymarket Park has been one of college baseball’s best ballparks. Set on 32 acres one-half mile west of campus near downtown, the complex combines private and public entities, giving the University of Nebraska and the City of Lincoln a one-of-a-kind facility for the Huskers and the Lincoln Saltdogs of the American Association of Independent League Professional Baseball. On July 30, 1999, the University of Nebraska, the City of Lincoln and NEBCO Inc., announced plans to construct two new stadiums, an 8,500-seat ballpark for the Husker baseball program and the Saltdogs – marking professional baseball’s return to the Star City for the first time in 40 years – and a 2,500-seat softball stadium located next door. Building a complex for the Huskers, as well as the Saltdogs, whose season runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day, required leadership and a forward-thinking vision from all three entities. The $29.53 million cost was primarily divided between the city, NEBCO and the University with additional sources contributing for the rest of the project. In March of 2000, Howard and Myrna Hawks guaranteed UNL’s commitment to the baseball/softball project, enabling the University to move forward on the complex on schedule. An avid supporter of the Husker baseball program, Myrna Hawks never had the opportunity to see the finished product, as she passed away on Jan. 24, 2001. In her honor, the playing surface was named Hawks Field in February of 2002 and was formally dedicated on April 28, 2002, before a doubleheader

against Kansas. “She was a baseball fanatic,” Howard Hawks said of his wife of 45 years. “She went to baseball games before we were married, but I know that after we were married, she never went to a game where she didn’t keep score. “She felt you didn’t really know what had happened if you didn’t know how this guy hit last time, and how they pitched to him, so she kept track of all those things.” The DLR Group was hired to be the principal designer of the ballparks, as well as the plaza between the two fields, and to create a design unique for Lincoln. Early on, one of the goals of the project was to enhance
the experience for the fans who attend games at the new park. According to the DLR Group, the intimate atmosphere at Haymarket Park was intentional. “One of the primary concepts driving this whole facility was to create a ‘park within a park,’ which meant the fans would be able to view the action from anywhere in the park,” says Pat Phelan, principal project manager at the DLR Group in Omaha. “There’s an open concourse, so when fans are waiting in line for concessions or restrooms, they can still see the field from there. There’s also a bermed seating area around the outside of the park, so you can literally walk around

the perimeter of the diamond while viewing the action, but you’re still within the confines of the stadium.” In the months leading up to the start of construction in April of 2000, former Nebraska Baseball Coach Dave Van Horn and Saltdogs President Charlie Meyer toured many of the top minor league facilities in the country, looking for ideas that could be implemented in the new ballpark. The influences of parks such as the Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City, Victory Field in Indianapolis and Franklin Covey Field in Salt Lake City, are evident throughout the structure. The exterior is a red-brick facade, while the spacious concourse level is highlighted by exposed ironwork. The playing surface is nestled in a bowl, allowing berm seating along both lines and throughout the outfield and a raised batter’s eye consisting of pine trees in center field. The features make Haymarket Park a first-class facility. The ballpark’s setting also allowed the designers to use Memorial Stadium and downtown Lincoln to provide a picturesque backdrop in the outfield. There is also a pedestrian connector that allows fans to make the walk from downtown Lincoln to the center field entrance of Haymarket Park. The park features many fan-friendly amenities, including 4,419 chair-back seats on two levels in the main seating bowl, 16 suites, a towering video board/scoreboard in right center field, the Buck Beltzer Playground for kids down the right field line and numerous restrooms and concession stands. In 2009, the facility added seating in right field, as the Husker Home Run Terrace bringing more fans closer to the action. Hawks Field at Haymarket Park was selected as the best playing surface in each of its nine years of existence. In November of 2007, Hawks Field received another honor, as it won the Baseball Field of the Year Award in the College/University division by the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA) for the second

time. The field earned its first honor in 2003 and is the only college park in the country to be a two-time winner. In the fall of 2008, the field was completely resurfaced while the underground drainage system was improved, making the field more playable during the early spring months. The ballpark is more than a playing field for the Huskers. It includes medical and laundry facilities, coaches’ offices and a 1,400-square foot locker room and adjacent clubhouse, giving the Husker program one of the best baseball setups in the country. The clubhouse was completely renovated in January of 2010, with a new entryway, remodeled player lockers, new locker chairs, electronic reclining theater seating, a team dining area, two 25-inch touch-screen monitors, a new video messaging system and a gaming area. In the fall of 2011, construction was completed on a $4.75 million indoor practice facility to the north of Hawks Field. The 22,000-square foot building features a large practice area, along with restrooms and storage facilities. The space is lined with netting, allowing for the entire area to be used for live batting practice and game simulation. Prior to the start of the 2012 season, a new 17 x 34-foot LED videoboard was installed that is nearly three times the size of the stadium’s original board. The Huskers have enjoyed their new home, posting a 249-88-1 (.738) record at Hawks Field over the past 11 years, including a school-record 33-4 mark in 2005 and a 29-5-1 mark in 2008. Fans have also turned out in record numbers, as Nebraska has ranked among the nation’s top 25 schools in average attendance since 2002. In 2006, Nebraska set a singleseason attendance record by averaging 5,092 fans per game. NU also established a singlegame record with a crowd of 8,757 against Texas A&M on April 14, 2006.

Huskers Aim for Return to NCAA Tournament in 2013
Head Coach Darin Erstad begins his second season in Lincoln in 2013 after leading the Huskers back to the postseason with a conference tournament appearance in 2012 for the first time since the 2008 season.
A trip to the Big Ten Tournament was a step in the right direction a year ago, but was short of the team’s ultimate goal of an NCAA Regional bid and beyond. At the plate, the Huskers blossomed under the direction of Erstad and Associate Head Coach Will Bolt. The Huskers led the Big Ten Conference in six categories, including home runs (47), RBIs (375), runs (413), total bases (916), on-base pct. (.384) and slugging pct. (.445). The Huskers also made noise on the national scene, as they ranked in the top-20 nationally in seven categories, including top-10 rankings in both batting average and scoring. After hitting .270 as a team in 2011, the Huskers hit .315 in 2012 to rank eighth in the country. The Huskers also ranked eighth nationally in scoring with 7.1 runs per game after scoring 5.4 runs a game in 2011. With a more disciplined approach at the plate, NU had 106 fewer strikeouts than it had in 2011, while playing three more games in 2012. The Huskers also produced 150 more hits, drove in 107 more runs and hit 17 more home runs to lead the Big Ten with 47 home runs. No other team in the league hit more than 38 homers. 2013 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM
Three Huskers were named first-team All-Big Ten, including shortstop Chad Christensen, outfielder Rich Sanguinetti and designated hitter Michael Pritchard, all of whom return for the 2013 season. Overall, eight Huskers earned All-Big Ten honors across the first, second and third teams. Nebraska returns nearly all of it’s offensive firepower from a year ago. Out of 15 offensive categories, the Huskers return last season’s leader in 12 of the categories. Departed senior Richard Stock led the squad in doubles (20) and triples (3) a season ago, while fellow 2012 senior Kale Kiser led the team in walks (38). On the mound, Nebraska staff’s continues to grow under the tutelage of Ted Silva. Silva’s proven approach was a change in philosophy for NU’s arms last year and while it took some adjustments early, success on the mound started to show in the second half of the season. Compared to the first 12 games of Big Ten play, the NU pitching staff gave up 13 fewer runs in the final 12 game of Big Ten action, while also surrendering few walks and producing more strikeouts. Opponents hit .307 at the plate in the first half of the conference season, but just .293 over the final 12 games of the year. Out of the 14 players who saw action on the mound a year ago, nine return, including four pitchers who started four or more games. Silva brought in nine new pitchers as well, which should breed plenty of competition on the mound.
The Huskers will look to sophomore Kyle Kubat in 2013 to be one of the anchors of their weekend rotation, as the Waterloo, Neb., native emerged as one of the most consistent starters during the end of 2012. Kubat, who won his final three starts during Big Ten play, was named a Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball and was a third-team All-Big Ten performer. Junior Zach Hirsch also returns after leading the team in both starts (13) and innings pitched (60.1) a year ago. The 6-4 lefty focused on improving his stamina in the offseason, as his workload in 2012 was a big jump over his 17.2 innings of work during the 2011 campaign. The Huskers also hope for strong returns from seniors Tyler Niederklein and Ryan Hander, who both had offseason hip surgery. Each started and worked out of the bullpen a year ago. Hander worked his way into the starting rotation at the end of the season, including a 6.1-inning gem against Penn State at the Big Ten Tournament, where he struck out a career-high seven to lead NU to a 12-3 win. In the bullpen, Dylan Vogt could be used in a variety of rolls from long relief to closer. The Omaha native developed a reputation in 2012 for getting big outs when the Huskers needed them. He posted a 1.84 ERA over 53.2 innings of work, while striking out 34 and giving up just five extra-base hits all year, including no home runs. Silva will need contributions from a trio of juniors in righties Brandon Pierce and Luke Bublitz, as well as lefty Tyler King, who led the team last season in appearances with 27.
12 ncaa tournaments
While all three will be key contributors out of the bullpen, the Huskers also could look to King and Pierce to start in 2013, as they combined for eight starts last season. Sophomore Aaron Bummer’s continued development in 2013 will be something to watch after the lefty held opposing hitters to a .219 average last season in 20 appearance out of the bullpen. The 6-2 lefty struck out 22 in 19.1 innings of work and is expected to see his role grow in 2013. The Husker staff is rounded out by three true freshmen (Jeff Chesnut, Mike Hadden, Colton Howell), one redshirt freshman (Logan Thune), and four junior college transfers (Christian DeLeon, Caleb Hawkins, Michael Hoppes, Josh Roeder). With a small returning staff, each newcomer will have an opportunity to work his way onto the mound.

Catcher is arguably the biggest question mark for the 2013 squad, as no player on the roster has previously caught a game at Nebraska. Taylor Fish returns after redshirting during his freshman season a year ago, while he is joined by junior college transfers Tanner Lubach and Corey Stringer, both Nebraska natives. Stringer has two years of eligibility remaining, while Lubach has three seasons after being named a second-team NJCAA All-American as a freshman last season at Hutchinson Community College. All three catchers continued to develop defensively under volunteer assistant Jeff Christy during the fall. In his first year with the Huskers a year ago, Christy helped senior catcher Cory Burleson become one of the best defensive catchers in the Big Ten Conference. After throwing out 14-of-40 base runners in 2011, Burleson threw out 20 runners, while giving up just 18 steals in 2012.

The Huskers return a wealth of depth to their infield in 2013, but fans will see some new faces at shortstop. Chad Christensen was slated to make the move to the outfield last season, but injuries forced him back to shortstop for the 2012 campaign. The senior from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is back in the outfield for 2013, leaving shortstop open to senior Bryan Peters, as well as a pair of youngster in freshmen Wes Edrington and Jake Placzek.
INTRODUCTION

THREE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES APPEARANCES
Peters, who has seen most of his work at second base during his first three seasons at Nebraska, showed the ability to slide over a spot on the diamond in the fall due to his athleticism. The 6-2 senior was one of the top multi-sport athletes out of Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, Colo., as he was named the 2010 Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year. A team-first guy, Peters will do whatever the Huskers need him to do to win games in 2013.
After transferring from Texarkana CC, Rich Sanguinetti anchored the Husker outfield in center and was tabbed as a first-team All-Big Ten selection. He started 55 games a year ago, making just one error. A righty in the field, Sanguinetti hits lefty and was NU’s No. 2 hitter for most of the season, producing a .323 average. The Huskers will look for him to put more pressure on opposing pitchers on the basepaths this season by improving on his seven steals from a year ago.
Placzek, a first-team All-Nebraska and Super-State pick from La Vista, was thrown right into the mix during the fall and will continue to develop with more game action.
The previously mentioned Christensen is slated to make the permanent move to the outfield in 2013. Drafted in the 35th round by the Miami Marlins in the 2012 MLB Draft, Christensen turned down a Major League contract to return for one more season of collegiate baseball. He is coming off his best season at Nebraska and will be looked to again to drive the Huskers’ offense. The 6-3 righty led the team in home runs (10), RBIs (48), total bases (114), steals (8), multi-hit games (23) and multi-RBI games (13), while ranking second on the team in runs (49) and third in hits (71) last year. He also hit over .300 for the first time in his career with a .311 batting average.
Edrington, a product of Fishers, Ind., joined the Huskers for the second semester after graduating from high school in December. He joins the team with lots of potential, but still needs to show he can make the transition to the college game. Entering the season, sophomore Pat Kelly looks to have a firm lock on the second base position after producing one of the top freshman campaigns in recent history at NU. Named a freshman All-American by four publications, Kelly’s play in the field became a strength as the season went on as he adjusted to the speed of the game. Kelly provides above average pop at the plate for a middle infielder, proven by his 16 extra-base hits last season, including eight home runs, the most homers by a Husker freshman since 2000. After struggling at the plate as a sophomore in 2011, Josh Scheffert rebounded in a big way in 2012 and looks to continue his growth at the hot corner. A second-team All-Big Ten selection last year, Scheffert was second on the team with a .358 batting average with 12 doubles, eight home runs and 41 RBIs. He also flashed a solid glove in the field with just five errors on the season, including only one error during Big Ten play. After battling injuries last season and during the fall, Kash Kalkowski looks to end his career on a high note and will likely see his senior year start at first base. A shortstop at Grand Island High School, Kalkowski has a solid glove and athleticism at first. He started his career at Nebraska as a pitcher before an arm injury turned him into a position player. He has flourished as both an outfielder and infielder. Kalkowski combines one of the best pure swings on the team with good power and can be a top threat in the NU lineup if he stays healthy. Blake Headley rounds out the Husker infielders and could see time all across the diamond. The sophomore from Omaha started at both shortstop and third base last season, but also spent time working at first base in the fall. Headley uses his 6-2 frame well at first base, but also possesses a strong arm to play the left side of the infield.

Following a freshman season where he made 35 starts and played in 42 games, Austin Darby will try to earn a permanent spot in the Husker outfield this season. A member of the All-Big Ten Freshman Team last year, Darby throws right and hits left, while running very well at 6-3, as he was a perfect 7-for-7 in steal attempts last season. He has shown the ability to hit for power, but needs to improve his consistency for contact at the plate. While Michael Pritchard, a 2013 preseason second-team AllAmerican (NCBWA), didn’t see much time in the outfield last season due to a shoulder injury, he was the glue of the Husker lineup at designated hitter. The lefty from Omaha was named a third-team All-American by the NCBWA after putting together one of the best seasons by a Husker hitter in recent memory. Pritchard tied Derek Dukart (1994) for the third-longest hitting streak in school history at 25 games. With one of the top contact swings in the country, Pritchard batted .387 and produced a team-high 82 hits, tying him with Adam Bailey (2010) for the most hits by a Husker in a season since Ryan Wehrle had 84 in 2006. Pritchard’s one strikeout for every 21.2 at bats ranked eighth in the country, and he was one of just two players from a BCS conference to rank in the top 10. Nebraska will look to Pritchard to set the table in 2013 for the Husker RBI producers. Ty Kildow continues to get better each day after making the transition to baseball a year ago following two years as a member of Bo Pelini’s football team. One of the fastest studentathletes on campus, Kildow provides solid depth at all three outfield spots. With a year of strictly baseball under his belt, he will look to put himself in position for more playing time after seeing action in 23 games last season. Omaha native Quentin Urban will provide depth and is looking to get his opportunity on the field after redshirting last season and missing the fall with a foot injury. An All-Nebraska selection in both football and baseball at Millard South High School, Urban is still a raw talent that needs to get game experience. Infielders Scheffert and Kalkowski also have seen significant time in the outfield during their careers at Nebraska, while Erstad also believes Lubach could see time in the outfield depending on situations.
Newcomers None Unlike last season where every outfield position was wide open, the Huskers should have a good idea of how their outfield will shape up to start the 2013 season. HUSKERS.COM I 2013 NEBRASKA BASEBALL

Darin Erstad
#17
Head Coach • Second Year Darin Erstad was named the 23rd head coach of the Nebraska baseball program - and the fifth since 1947 - on June 2, 2011. Erstad took over a team in 2012 that had failed to qualify for the postseason the previous three seasons and was making a move from the Big 12 to the Big Ten Conference. While the squad fell short of qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in 2012, improvement could be seen across the board, and the Huskers played in a conference tournament for the first time since 2008. The Husker offense saw the biggest jump under the direction of Erstad and Associate Head Coach Will Bolt. The Huskers led the Big Ten Conference in six different categories, including home runs (47), RBI (375), runs (413), total bases (916), on-base pct. (.384) and slugging pct. (.445). The Huskers also made noise on the national scene, as they ranked in the top-20 nationally in seven categories, including top-10 rankings in both batting average and scoring. After hitting .270 as a team in 2011, the Huskers hit .315 in 2012 to rank eighth in the country. The Huskers also ranked eighth nationally in scoring with 7.1 runs per game after scoring 5.4 runs a game in 2011.

With a more disciplined approach at the plate, NU had 106 fewer strikeouts than it had in 2011, while playing three more games in 2012. The Huskers also produced 150 more hits, drove in 107 more runs and hit 17 more home runs to lead the Big Ten with 47 home runs. No other team in the league hit more than 38 homers. Three Huskers were named first-team All-Big Ten, including shortstop Chad Christensen, outfielder Rich Sanguinetti and designated hitter Michael Pritchard. Overall, eight Huskers earned All-Big Ten honors across the first, second and third teams. Pritchard, a sophomore in 2012, continued his development at the plate and posted a 25-game hitting streak during the season-the third-longest streak in school history. For his efforts, he was named a third-team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. Four players from the 2012 team were picked in the 2012 MLB Draft, including 23rd-round picks Travis Huber (Minnesota Twins), Kale Kiser (Chicago White Sox) and Richard Stock (Cleveland Indians), who all signed contracts. Christensen was picked in the 35th round by the Miami Marlins, but chose to return to Nebraska for his senior season in 2013. A two-time Major League All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner, Erstad spent the 2011 season as a volunteer assistant coach with the Husker program. In his role, he helped lead a pair of Huskers to All-Big 12 honors, including third baseman Cody Asche. Asche became NU’s first position player to earn All-America honors since 2006, as he hit .327 with 12 home runs and produced a school-record 27 doubles en route to second-team All-America honors in 2011. One of the most decorated players in Nebraska baseball history, Erstad was a first-team AllAmerican and finalist for the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award in 1995, before embarking on a 14-year career in Major League Baseball. Erstad wrapped up his professional career in the fall of 2009, after playing for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (1996-06), Chicago White Sox (2007) and Houston Astros (2008-09). During his career, he helped the Angels to a World Series title in 2002 and two other playoff appearances. Erstad appeared in 1,654 games, while finishing his career as a .282 hitter with 1,697 hits, 124 homers and 699 RBIs. He was at his best in the postseason, hitting .339 in 29 career playoff games, including a .352 clip during the Angels World Series run in 2002. The No. 1 overall pick in the 1995 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, Erstad spent the majority of his career playing for the Angels, where he won three Gold Gloves (2000-02-04) and was selected for the American League All-Star team in 1998 and 2000. He is the only player in Major League history to win Gold Gloves as an infielder (2004) and outfielder (2000 and 2002) and the first player in Major League history to win Gold Gloves at three positions (LF, 2000; CF, 2013 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM

2002; 1B, 2004). Erstad was one of the greatest players in Angels’ franchise history, as he ranks in the top five on team charts in eight categories, including at bats (4th), runs (4th), hits (4th), total bases (4th), doubles (4th), RBIs (4th), stolen bases (4th) and games played (5th). His best year came in 2000 when he led the Major Leagues with 240 hits and finished second in the American League with a .355 batting average with 121 runs scored, 39 doubles, six triples, 25 home runs, 100 RBIs, 64 walks and 28 stolen bases en route to winning a Silver Slugger Award. That season, he topped the Angels in seven categories, and set franchise records for average, runs scored and hits, with his records for average and hits still standing entering the 2013 season. His 240 hits are tied for 13th in Major League history entering the 2013 season and were the most since Hall of Famer Wade Boggs had 240 in 1985. In 2000, Erstad made his second All-Star Game appearance and won his first Gold Glove, committing just three errors in 362 total chances in left field for a .992 fielding percentage. Erstad was also active in the community throughout his playing career and was the Angels’ recipient of the 2005 Roberto Clemente Award for his efforts in the Southern California community. A two-sport star at Nebraska, Erstad was a first-team All-American and Big Eight Co-Player of the Year as a junior in 1995, batting .410 with 19 homers and 76 RBIs. He finished his Husker career holding school records for most hits (6), runs (6), and RBIs (6) in a game; most hits (103) and total bases (194) in a single season (1995) and most career hits (261). In addition to his exploits on the diamond, Erstad, a two-time academic all-conference selection, was also the starting punter for the Huskers’ 1994 national championship football team, helping NU to a 13-0 record. A native of Jamestown, N.D., Erstad played American Legion Baseball and hit .495 with 18 homers, 86 RBIs and 21 doubles as a senior. He was the state tournament MVP in both 1991 and 1992 and a three-time all-state pick. Erstad was a 13th-round pick by the New York Mets in the 1992 MLB Draft and earned first-team all-state accolades in four sports (football, hockey, track and baseball) in high school. Darin, and his wife, Jessica, have one daughter, Jordan, and two sons, Zack and Adam.

Will Bolt
#6
Associate Head Coach • Second Year • Nebraska (2003) Former Husker standout Will Bolt was named Nebraska’s associate head coach on June 8, 2011. A four-year starter and team captain on Nebraska’s 2001 and 2002 College World Series teams, Bolt spent four seasons as the head coach at Texarkana College before returning to Nebraska. He oversees NU’s infield unit and helps direct the Husker offense. The Husker offense saw improvement across the board in 2012, as they led the Big Ten Conference in several offensive categories and ranked in the top-20 nationally in seven categories, including top-10 rankings in both batting average and scoring. After hitting .270 as a team in 2011, Bolt helped direct an offensive attack that hit .315 on the year to rank eighth in the country. The Huskers also ranked eighth nationally in scoring with 7.1 runs per game after scoring 5.4 runs a game in 2011. The Huskers became a more disciplined team at the plate, as they had 106 fewer strikeouts than they had in 2011, while playing three more game in 2012. The Huskers also produced 150 more hits, drove in 107 more runs and hit 17 more home runs to lead the Big Ten with 47 home runs. No other team in the league hit more than 38 homers.
44
Under Bolt’s watch, Michael Pritchard and Richard Stock each put together 20-or-more game hitting streaks during the season, the first time in school history that a pair of teammates posted hitting streaks of 20 or more games in the same year. Pritchard led the way with a 25-game hitting streak-the third-longest streak in school history. A first-team All-Big Ten selection, Pritchard was also a third-team All-America pick by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. Stock, who signed with the Cleveland Indians after being picked in the 23rd round of the 2012 MLB Draft, tied for the Big Ten lead in doubles with 20 and led all players during Big Ten play with 39 hits.

Bolt also oversaw the development of freshman Pat Kelly, who was named a freshman AllAmerican by four publications, including Perfect Game, Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. The freshman from Red Wing, Minn., hit .313 on the year, slugged eight home runs and drove in 37 runs in 41 starts.
Administrative Experience
A native of Conroe, Texas, Bolt led Texarkana College to a pair of Region XIV championships during his four-year head coaching stint with the Bulldogs. Bolt has been in the collegiate coaching ranks for eight years, spending the 2005 season as Nebraska’s volunteer assistant during the program’s school-record breaking 57-win campaign, while also serving two years on Texas A&M’s coaching staff. One of the top infielders in Husker history, he finished his playing career holding six school records and caught the final out of the 2001 Super Regional to send Nebraska to its first College World Series.
Personal Information
Bolt became the head coach at Texarkana College in 2007 and guided the Bulldogs to backto-back Region XIV championships (2009 and 2010) during a stretch of four straight Regional Tournament appearances and four 30-plus win seasons. Bolt, who was 140-82 (.631) at Texarkana, helped over 20 players sign with Division I schools. Bolt started his coaching career by serving as a graduate manager for the 2004 Huskers, and he was then named head coach for the Parkville Sluggers (M.I.N.K. League) over the summer. Upon being named a volunteer assistant at Nebraska in 2005, Bolt helped direct the Husker infielders and hitters, as NU had its best season in school history. Nebraska compiled a 5715 record and swept the Big 12 regular-season and tournament championships en route to capturing Nebraska’s first CWS win. Nebraska finished the season with a then-school record .975 fielding percentage. Bolt headed back to his home state in 2006 and spent two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at Texas A&M. In 2007, he was on staff when the Aggies advanced to the Super Regionals, while producing a 49-18 overall record and claiming the program’s first Big 12 Tournament championship. In College Station, Bolt specialized in infield work and helped tutor All-Americans Brandon Hicks and Blake Stouffer, who were each drafted in the first five rounds of the MLB Draft. 2013 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM

pitching coach/recruiting coordinator • second year Ted Silva was hired as Nebraska’s pitching coach on June 17, 2011. Silva joined the Huskers from the West Coast, where he had spent the previous four seasons as a pitching coach at UC Irvine and Loyola Marymount. Silva took over a young pitching staff in 2012 that returned no seniors and needed to replace its closer, after Casey Hauptman was picked in the 26th round of the 2011 MLB Draft by the New York Mets. Under Silva’s guidance in 2012, true freshman Kyle Kubat emerged as one of the most consistent starters in NU’s rotation during the end of the season. Kubat, who won his final three starts during Big Ten play, was named a Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball, a third-team All-Big Ten performer and was selected to the Big Ten All-Freshman team. In the bullpen, Dylan Vogt developed into the Huskers’ most dangerous arm late in games. The Omaha native posted a 1.84 ERA over 53.2 innings of work, while striking out 34 and giving up just five extra-base hits all year, including no home runs. Silva also continued the development of Travis Huber, who led the 2012 team in saves with seven. After previously being picked twice in the MLB Draft in the 47th (2010) and 39th (2011) rounds, Huber was selected in the 23rd round of the 2012 MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins and signed with the organization. Silva, a native of Redondo Beach, Calif., and a 1995 All-America pitcher at Cal State Fullerton, helped lead UC Irvine to national prominence from 2008 to 2010, when the Anteaters qualified for three straight NCAA Regionals and won the 2009 Big West Conference title. He moved on to Loyola Marymount under longtime friend and former Titan teammate Jason Gill for the 2011 season. In Silva’s first season as pitching coach at UC Irvine, the Anteaters won the 2008 Lincoln Regional, including a 3-2 win over host Nebraska. The Anteaters nearly advanced to the College World Series, but fell one inning short of sweeping No. 2 LSU before the Tigers came back to win the Super Regional. While at UCI, Silva’s pitching staff produced a 3.89 ERA and helped the program to its first Big West Conference championship. The Anteaters qualified for the NCAA Tournament all three years and were eliminated in 2010 by eventual national runner-up UCLA. Silva took an assistant coaching position at Loyola Marymount under Gill for the 2011 season. The two were teammates on the 1994 Cal State Fullerton squad that finished 47-16 and reached the College World Series. In his only season with the Lions, Silva’s pitchers posted a 3.25 ERA to rank 30th nationally, cutting the team’s ERA nearly in half from 2010 (7.21). A trio of LMU pitchers were selected in the 2011 MLB Draft, including a pair of top-15 round selections in Jason Wheeler (8th round) and Alex Gillingham (11th round). Silva and Gill were on staff at their alma mater in 2005 and 2006, when Silva served as a volunteer assistant coach. The Titans won the Big West Conference championship both years and reached the College World Series in 2006 when CSF produced an NCAA-best 2.73 ERA. Silva helped coach All-Americans and future first-round selections Ricky Romero (2005) and Wes Roemer (2006) to Big West Pitcher-of-the-Year honors. After a year at Fresno State, Silva accepted the UC Irvine pitching coach position and led four Anteater hurlers to a combined 19 All-America awards. During his three seasons at UCI, the Anteaters posted some of the best marks in school history, including the nation’s third-best ERA in 2008 at 3.27, the program’s best since 1974. The same season, UCI struck out a school-record 503 hitters. The following year, UCI tied the school record with 20 saves, while the 2010 season saw the Anteaters achieve the league’s secondbest totals in ERA (3.98) and strikeouts (483). Silva spent the 2007 season at Fresno State and helped the Bulldogs to an NCAA Regional appearance. As a team, Fresno State finished with the second-best ERA in the WAC at 4.54, while three Bulldog hurlers ranked in the top 10 individually. Prior to his coaching days, Silva was a standout pitcher at Cal State Fullerton from 1993 to 1995. A two-time first-team all-conference selection, Silva was 26-7 over his career with a

Shawn Eichorst
director of athletics • first year • wisconsin-whitewater (1990)
Shawn Eichorst was named the 14th athletic director in the history of the University of Nebraska by Chancellor Harvey Perlman on Oct. 4, 2012. Eichorst was formally introduced as the Special Assistant to the Chancellor on Oct. 9. Eichorst replaces legendary coach and athletic director Tom Osborne on Jan. 1, 2013. Osborne announced his retirement as Nebraska’s athletic director on Sept. 26, after spending five years in the role. Eichorst said he was honored to get the privilege to be a part of Nebraska Athletics. “(Nebraska is) one of the great universities in America and one of the strongest athletic departments in all of college sports who has the welfare of its student-athletes at the heart of everything they do. I am humbled by both the responsibility and opportunities that lie ahead. I hope to carry on the rich tradition of Husker excellence set by Coach Osborne and so many others.” Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman said it was Eichorst’s commitment to putting student-athletes first that made Eichorst stand out. “When I asked him how, if he were here five years from now, would I be able to measure his success, his response was that if the coaches and student-athletes had been successful and nobody knows his name, it would be a success.” Eichorst comes to Nebraska after spending 18 months as the athletic director at the University of Miami. He was named the 12th athletic director at Miami on April 12, 2011. Eichorst went to Miami after serving from 2009 to 2011 as the Deputy Athletic Director at the University of Wisconsin, where his responsibilities under Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez included serving as the department’s Chief Operating Officer and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the highly successful athletics program. During Eichorst’s time at the University of Wisconsin, the Badger athletic department consisted of 23 intercollegiate programs, 850 student-athletes, 320 full-time employees and operated from a $90 million budget. Eichorst was involved in the design and planning of a new $36 million ice hockey/swim facility that was completed in the fall of 2012, as well as with the student-athlete performance center in the north end zone of Camp Randall Stadium which began construction in the fall of 2011 at a cost of more than $70 million. He joined the Badgers’ staff in 2006 as a Senior Associate Athletic Director and was promoted to Executive Associate Athletic Director in 2007. In his first year as Director of Athletics at Miami, Eichorst helped grow the academic reputation of an already sterling program with NCAA Top 10 recognition in Academic Progress Rates (APR) for five programs - football, baseball, men’s diving, women’s cross country and women’s golf. During the 2011-12 academic year, 149 student-athletes made the Atlantic Coast Conference Honor Roll and 70 earned their degrees.
Sports Complex and Cobb Stadium. Eichorst previously worked at the University of South Carolina, serving as the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Administration from 2004 to 2006 and as the Interim Director of Athletics in June 2005. Working with the Gamecocks, he oversaw the department’s daily operations as well as the football (Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier) and baseball (Ray Tanner) programs. The football team was bowl-eligible each year during Eichorst’s tenure, and the baseball program competed in the 2004 College World Series. Additionally, he facilitated and supervised multimillion dollar facility projects, including a stateof-the-art football training facility, partnership/ sponsorship agreements and substantial department organizational and policy growth.

A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an all-conference defensive back, three-time letterwinner and 1990 team captain for the UW-Whitewater football team. He graduated magna cum laude in business from UW-Whitewater in 1990 and earned a law degree from Marquette University in 1995. In 2006, he was awarded the Sports Law Alumnus of the Year by Marquette. He also is a graduate of the Sports Management Institute and serves on its Executive Committee. Eichorst practiced law in Milwaukee until 1999, when he was hired by UW-Whitewater as Director of Athletics, which he led until 2003. Under his tenure, UW-Whitewater developed into one of the nation’s top Division III athletic programs, with four top 10 percent National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Directors Cup finishes; one NCAA team championship; four NCAA team national runner-up finishes and seven individual NCAA champions. The program also featured an NCAA Student-Athlete of the Year for Wisconsin, 84 All-Americans, 38 Academic All-America selections and nine NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. He is a past member of the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee and State Bar of Wisconsin Board of Governors. He also previously served as an assistant adjunct professor of law at Marquette University Law School, where he taught classes in sports law. He currently serves on the Marquette University National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors. Eichorst and his wife Kristin have three sons: Jack, Joseph and Bennet.
Under his watchful eye, the Hurricane Club grew by more than 500 members, surpassing 5,000 members nationwide and $19 million in student-athlete support was generated in 2011-12. An additional $14.2 million in capital gifts was raised toward the Theodore G. Schwartz and Todd G. Schwartz Center for Athletic Excellence facility project, which is scheduled for completing in the fall of 2013. During his first year, both the men’s and women’s basketball programs advanced to the postseason. The women posted the highest national ranking in school history (No. 5 overall) and advanced to the NCAA second round, while the men set a program record for conference wins and advanced to the NIT second round. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals (Elite Eight) for the fourth straight season. The baseball program extended its NCAA postseason appearances streak to 40 consecutive seasons. The women’s soccer team posted the first NCAA postseason win in program history, and the volleyball team advanced to the NCAA postseason for the third straight year and finished the season ranked 15th nationally. Other accomplishments included long-term contract extensions for head football coach Al Golden, head men’s basketball coach Jim Larranaga, and head women’s basketball coach Katie Meier. Eichorst also coordinated a strategic review of all operations and reorganized the senior management team. Miami enhanced branding at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, the BankUnited Center and inside the Hecht Athletic Center. New scoreboards were also added at the James L. Knight

Nebraska Baseball Academy Camps Darin Erstad Nebraska Baseball Head Coach
Will Bolt Nebraska Baseball Associate Head Coach
Ted Silva Nebraska Baseball Assistant Coach
Jeff Christy Nebraska Baseball Volunteer Assistant Coach
Here is a sample of some of the many camps run by the Nebraska baseball academy during the year.
Fall League
The Fall League is a mini-season experience. The purpose of the Fall League is to provide the participants an opportunity to continue to improve their overall baseball skills and development in the fall. It provides participants with more innings, extra repetitions, extra at bats and a chance to play other positions and improve basic fundamentals. Teams are encouraged to register; individuals who register will be assigned to a roster based on age level. The League runs for five weeks on Sundays and will include one weekday evening session for Skill Instruction. All games will include umpires and will be held at various fields throughout the City of Lincoln and area communities. Age levels for this League are 11/12; 13/14; and 15 - high school seniors.
4-on-1 Hitting Instruction
56
Curtis Ledbetter Nebraska Baseball Director of Baseball Operations Academy Director
Renee Brinkmann Nebraska Baseball Academy Coordinator
This is a four-week class, meeting once a week for 60 minutes (four hours of total instruction). The Intensive Hitting Instructional Camp is a hands-on class for those who want to improve their hitting. Classes are very small and sessions are designed to teach drills and philosophy that we hope will create a consistent level of success for all ages and abilities.
Stars of Tomorrow Camp
This camp is exclusively for those student-athletes in high school. The camp is a unique blend of evaluations and teaching instruction and game situations that allows participants to learn the game of baseball. Pitching, hitting and defense will be emphasized. All of this will be followed by a scrimmage against other participants. Other area smaller colleges and Junior College coaches will be invited to attend this camp.
Day Camps
Each summer we conduct several Day Camps in various towns throughout the state of Nebraska. Day Camps are what we consider All Skills Camps on the road! Day Camps typically run from 9 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.. If your community has interest in hosting a day camp, please contact Renee Brinkmann at the Nebraska Baseball Office (402) 472-2269 or rbrinkmann@ huskers.com. She would be happy to discuss the requirements for hosting a summer camp in your area in the Summer of 2013.
Academy Hitting Leagues Nebraska Baseball Summer Camps take place at Hawks Field. The complete summer schedule of camps will be available in March.
This is a 4-week session, meeting once per week for 60 minutes (4 total hours) and is for high school players only. Test your skill set against other ball players from around the area. The first 20 minutes of each meeting will be devoted to instruction on that evening’s particular skill and the competition portion will take place during the final 40 minutes. Scores will be tallied at the end of the 4-week session and a champion crowned.
Veteran Hitting School
This is a 4-week session, meeting once a week for 2 hours (8 hours of total instruction) and is for high school players only. Techniques and drills used during this session are the same taught and practiced daily by Nebraska Baseball. The Hitting School will focus on a comprehensive training program with special emphasis on routine and repetition. Each week will begin with a block of “classroom time” to help players stay focused on what is being taught on that particular day.
Individual Private Lessons
The Nebraska Baseball Academy uses the Huskers’ indoor practice facility for year-round training.

2012 Season Review Huskers Finish First Big Ten Season with Tournament Appearance Pritchard Earns NU’s 98th All-America Award
A sophomore in 2012, designated hitter Michael Pritchard picked up his first career All-America award when he was a third-team selection by Collegiate Baseball. It marked the second straight season that the Huskers produced an AllAmerican, after third baseman Cody Asche was a second-team pick by Collegiate Baseball in 2011. A first-team All-Big Ten selection in 2012, Pritchard put together one of the best seasons by a Husker hitter in recent memory, as he tied Derek Dukart (1994) for the third-longest hitting streak in school history at 25 games. The streak started in the Huskers’ Big Ten opener against Illinois on March 23, when Pritchard produced two hits, and came to an end in the series opener against Minnesota on May 11. He notched a pair of hits 10 times during the streak, including three or more hits twice. Teammate Richard Stock ended the season with a 21-game hitting streak, marking the first time in school history that a pair of teammates put together 20-game hitting streaks in the same season.
58
Hitting in the leadoff spot for the majority of the 2012 campaign, Pritchard led the Huskers with a .387 batting average and produced a team-high 82 hits, tying him with Adam Bailey (2010) for the most hits by a Husker in a season since Ryan Wehrle had 84 in 2006. Pritchard also led the Huskers with a .447 on-base percentage and was one of the toughest outs in the country with just 10 strikeouts in 212 at bats. His one strikeout for every 21.2 at bats ranked eighth in the country, and he was one of just two players from a BCS conference to rank in the top 10. During the regular season, Pritchard led the Big Ten with a .379 average and was sixth in the league in hits with 75. No other Big Ten DH had more than 50 hits on the year, and Pritchard’s 10 doubles were the most among Big Ten designated hitters. In 24 Big Ten games, Pritchard hit .333 with 32 hits and scored 22 runs. Pritchard continued to swing a hot bat into the postseason with a 7-for-14 performance at the Big Ten Tournament, including a perfect 4-for-4 day in the Huskers’ opener against Michigan State. Pritchard and Stock were each named to the Big Ten All-Tournament Team. Early in the season, Pritchard was named to the Dairy Queen Classic All-Tournament Team and took home the Silver Stick Award as the tournament’s top hitter. He was 5-for-8 on the weekend with one double, three RBI and four runs scored.
Fantastic Freshman
Second baseman Pat Kelly earned four freshman All-America accolades in 2012, the most for any Husker freshman in school history. Previously, Matt Hopper collected the most awards following a freshman season with three in 2000, when he was honored by Collegiate Baseball, Baseball America and Baseball Weekly. A native of Red Wing, Minn., Kelly was a first-team freshman All-American by both Baseball America and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. He was a secondteam freshman All-America selection by Perfect Game and was named to Collegiate Baseball freshman All-America list. 2013 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM
Freshman teammate Kyle Kubat was also one of 32 starting pitchers named a Collegiate Baseball freshman All-American. Kelly made a quick transition to college pitching and was one of the Huskers’ top offensive threats with a .313 average, eight home runs and 37 RBI in 41 starts. He was twice named Big Ten Freshman of the Week and was a third-team All-Big Ten selection. Kelly ranked third on the team with a .521 slugging percentage and his eight home runs were the most by a freshman at Nebraska who played at Haymarket Park. They were also the most homers by a Husker freshman since 2000, when Hopper hit 21 at Buck Beltzer Stadium. Kelly hit throughout the Husker lineup and produced 16 extra-base hits, including six doubles and two triples in addition to his eight home runs. Kelly came up with clutch hits all season for NU, as he hit .367 with runners on base and .364 with runners in scoring position. He had 11 multi-hit games on the year, including a pair of four-hit games. He drove in at least two runs 11 times, including a career-high five RBI against Penn State at the Big Ten Tournament in a 12-3 win over the Nittany Lions.
RBI. He also flashed one of the best gloves on the team with just five errors on the season, including only one error during Big Ten play. Among Big Ten third basemen during the regular season, Scheffert ranked second with a .350 batting average, trailing only Purdue’s Cameron Perkins (.356). Scheffert tied for the lead in home runs during conference play with five and his 23 RBI were a league high. Stock joined the Huskers from Pierce College in Los Angeles, Calif., after spending his freshman season at Southern Cal. Projected as a catcher, Stock became the Huskers’ everyday first baseman and turned into one of NU’s top hitters. The junior led all Big Ten players in hits during conference play with 39 and ranked third in the league with a .386 batting average. Among Big Ten first basemen, Stock tied for third in average (.348), was second in doubles (17), tied for first in triples (3) and was third in RBI (40). He ended the season with a 21-game hitting streak.
Eight Nebraska baseball players earned All-Big Ten honors in 2012, including shortstop Chad Christensen, outfielder Rich Sanguinetti and designated hitter Michael Pritchard, who all earned first-team honors.
Kubat was one of nine starting pitchers to earn All-Big Ten honors. He joined the starting rotation for the final three weeks of Big Ten action and changed the Huskers’ season. The Waterloo, Neb., native went 3-0 in his three starts, with all three wins coming in series openers. Kubat was 5-1 on the year for NU in eight starts, including a 4-0 record in Big Ten play, as he also picked up a win out of the bullpen. During league play, Kubat led all starting pitchers with a 1.57 ERA, and his seven strikeouts against Indiana tied Ryan Hander for the most punchouts by a Husker pitcher in a single game in 2012.
Junior third baseman Josh Scheffert was the Huskers’ lone second-team pick, while first baseman Richard Stock, second baseman Pat Kelly and starting pitcher Kyle Kubat were all third-team selections. Kelly and Kubat were named to the AllBig Ten Freshman team, along with outfielder Austin Darby.
Darby became a regular for the Huskers in right field late in the season and helped the team earn a spot in the Big Ten Tournament. He hit .354 during conference play and had a .396 on-base percentage. Overall, Darby hit .324 with two homers and 15 RBI, while also going a perfect 7-for-7 in steal attempts.
Eight Huskers Earn All-Big Ten Accolades
Christensen was an offensive leader for the Huskers in 2012, as the junior led the team in both home runs (10) and RBI (48). He was one of just two shortstops in the league to hit over .300 during the regular season with a .322 average. Christensen led all shortstops in average (.322), home runs (9), RBI (45), runs (46) and total bases (109). No other shortstop in the league had more than four home runs or 32 RBI during the regular season. One of the top outfielders in the Big Ten, Sanguinetti had just one error the entire conference season and led all outfielders in RBI in league play with 21. A junior college transfer from Texarkana Community College, Sanguinetti stepped into the Husker lineup and hit .323 on the season, while ranking third on the team in RBI with 43 and leading the Huskers in sacrifice bunts with 14.

Championship History
The Big Ten Baseball Tournament has been played as a neutral-site event in Columbus, Ohio, since 2009. The event was held at Huntington Park, the home of the Triple-A Columbus Clippers, in 2009, 2011 and 2012. The tournament was held at Ohio State’s Bill Davis Stadium in 2010. 2013 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM
Prior to 2009, the Big Ten Baseball Tournament was played at the site of the regular-season champion or the champion from a pre-selected division, with the exception of 1993 and 1994, when it was held in Battle Creek, Mich. Six different teams have won the Big Ten Tournament in the event’s 32 years. Minnesota leads all Big Ten teams with nine tournament titles, Michigan and Ohio State each have eight, Illinois has four, Indiana has two and Purdue has one. The tournament has only been won by the same team in consecutive years five times, as Michigan was the first to do so in 1983 and 1984, before doing it again in 1986 and 1987. The other programs to achieve the feat include Illinois (198990), Minnesota (1992-93) and Ohio State (1994-95). The tournament started with just four teams, as the top two teams in each division competed for the conference title. The tournament field was expanded to six teams in 2000, while the top-two seeds started getting first-round byes in 2002.

The Big Ten Conference Formed more than 116 years ago, the Big Ten Conference is an association of world-class academic institutions with shared values and goals. Since its inception in 1896, the pursuit and attainment of academic excellence has been the priority for every member institution. However, maintaining the conference’s status as one of the preeminent athletic conferences in the country also endures as an important component of the Big Ten student-athlete experience. Recognized as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten strives for success from its student-athletes not only on the field and in the classroom, but around the world as well. ACADEMICS All Big Ten Universities have been granted Tier One Status by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, a distinction awarded to just over 100 universities. Big Ten schools have produced more than 1,400 Academic All-Americans, more than any other conference, including 36 in the last academic year. The Big Ten leads all conferences with the highest number of ranked graduate school programs among the top 25 according to U.S. News and World Report in 2012. The Big Ten ranks first with 30 top-25 programs in the fields of law, medical (research and primary care), business, engineering and education. SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS During the 2011-12 season, the Big Ten claimed seven team national championships, including titles for Illinois men’s gymnastics, Minnesota women’s ice hockey, Northwestern women’s lacrosse, Ohio State fencing and synchronized swimming, Penn State wrestling and Wisconsin men’s cross country. The Big Ten led all conferences with national titles in 12 different NCAA-sponsored championships from 2002-03 to 2011-12. Over that time period, the Big Ten produced championships in cross country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling. STUDENT-ATHELTE OPPORTUNITIES Big Ten universities provide over $136 million in direct financial aid to nearly 10,000 studentathletes, more than any conference. The Big Ten sponsors 25 official conference sports, 12 for men and 13 for women. The 26th conference sport, men’s ice hockey, will begin in 2013. TELEVISION EXPOSURE The Big Ten’s media agreements with CBS Sports, ABC/ESPN, FOX and the Big Ten Network (BTN) provide the conference with its greatest television exposure ever. Nearly 1,000 Big Ten events are produced and distributed nationally on an annual basis. In 2006, the Big Ten created the first national conference-owned television network, the BTN. It launched on Aug. 30, 2007, and now is in its sixth year of operation. BTN is in 51 million homes in the United States and Canada, through agreements with more than 300 cable, satellite and telco providers, and is available internationally in 20 countries. ATTENDANCE Big Ten fans are some of the nation’s most supportive, with more than 10 million patrons attending conference home contests during the 2011-12 seasons for football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball alone.

HONORING LEGENDS. BUILDING LEADERS. The mission of the Big Ten Conference has always been to excel athletically without compromising the priority our member institutions assign to their academic standards and to their commitment to student academic success. We seek to celebrate the many accomplishments of Big Ten student-athletes while continuously reinforcing each of our member institutions’ high academic standards. Striking that important balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten’s identity, and the Big Ten’s “Honoring Legends. Building Leaders” campaign links directly to the Big Ten mission. HUSKERS.COM I 2013 NEBRASKA BASEBALL

Game Summary: Freshman Anthony Kelley made his first career conference victory a memorable one, as he tossed a no-hitter against the Oklahoma Sooners. Kelley’s gem couldn’t have come at a better time, since NU had already split the first two games of the series. Kelley was never in any serious trouble as he struck out seven, while walking just three. First baseman Steve Stanicek provided the offensive punch, slugging a two-run homer.
Nebraska 21, Austin College 0 (March 15, 1978)
Game Summary: After plowing his way through Kansas’ first 20 batters, (and having only four Jayhawks hit the ball out of the infield) senior pitcher Cliff Faust must have thought he was seeing his perfect game slip away. The Jayhawks’ Dick Lewallen came to the plate with two outs in the seventh (and final inning) and promptly hit a sinking line drive into left field. But left fielder Joe Scherger made a diving grab to save Faust’s perfect game. Outside of Lewallen’s game ender, no other Jayhawk made a serious bid to reach base.

2005-Present; Oakland Athletics, Tampa Bay Rays; Chicago White Sox Dan Johnson has spent parts of seven seasons in the Major Leagues after originally being called up by the Oakland Athletics on May 26, 2005. Johnson played a key role in the Athletics’ late-season charge in 2005, batting .275 with 15 homers and 58 RBIs in 109 games. His .355 on-base percentage ranked second among AL rookies, his 50 walks tied for second and his .451 slugging percentage ranked third. He was selected to the Topps Major League Rookie All-Star team, besting National League Rookie of the Year Ryan Howard for the prestigious honor. In 2006, he was a part-time starter for Oakland’s AL West Divisional title team, hitting .234 with nine homers and 37 RBIs in 91 contests. In 2007, Johnson earned a spot in the everyday starting lineup, setting career bests in homers (18) and RBIs (67) while appearing in 117 contests. In 2008, he was signed by the American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays, hitting .192 with a pair of homers and four RBIs. He made an immediate impact in his debut on Sept. 10, hitting a game-tying home run off Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth inning of a 5-4 Rays win. Johnson spent the 2009 season with the Yokohama BayStars of Japan’s Central League. He rejoined Tampa Bay for the 2010 campaign and was called up in August. On Aug. 28, he hit a walk-off home run against the Boston Red Sox. Johnson had one of the most powerful bats on the Rays’ roster, and helped his team to the postseason with seven homers in just 40 games. He played 31 games for the Rays in 2011, including six games in September during the Rays run to the playoffs. Johnson again came through with a big home run on the final day of the 2011 regular season with a two-out solo shot in the bottom of the ninth inning with two strikes to tie the game, 7-7, against the Yankees in Tampa Bay. The Rays went on to win the game in 12 innings and capture the American League Wild Card. Johnson spent most of the 2012 season with the Chicago White Sox’s Triple-A team in Charlotte, where he hit 21 doubles, 28 home runs and drove in 85 runs in 137 games. He played 14 games for the White Sox in 2012 and once again had an outstanding day at the plate on the final day of the regular season with three home runs against the Cleveland Indians.

Alex Gordon (2003-05)
2007-Present; Kansas City Royals Alex Gordon enjoyed a rapid rise to the Major Leagues as he spent one season in the minors before making the Kansas City Royals’ 2007 opening day roster. Gordon, Baseball America’s Minor League Player of the Year in 2006, hit .247 with 36 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, 60 RBIs and 60 runs scored while going 14-of-18 on the basepaths. He led all American League rookies in extra-base hits (55) and was in the top three among AL rookies in home runs (second), RBIs (third), doubles (third), triples (third), stolen bases (third) and total bases (third). Gordon’s continued development helped the Royals to their best record since 2003, as he hit .260 with 16 homers and 59 RBIs in 134 contests in 2008. In 2009, he was slowed by a hip injury and played just 30 games, hitting .232 with six homers and 22 RBIs. A broken thumb and position change to outfield put a slow start to Gordon’s 2010 season. He went on to play in 74 games and hit .215 with eight homers and 10 doubles. Playing as the Royals’ everyday left fielder in 2011, Gordon shined in the field and produced his best offensive season as a Royal. For his defensive efforts, Gordon became the 19th Royal, but only the third since 1989, to earn a Rawlings Gold Glove Award and the first former Husker to be selected for the award since 2004 when Darin Erstad collected his third Gold Glove. The award was the first of Gordon’s career after he led the league with a club-record 20 assists. Offensively, Gordon set career highs in batting average (.303), runs (101), home runs (23), RBIs (87), stolen bases (17) on-base percentage (.376) and slugging percentage (.502). Gordon continued to flash one of the top gloves in the game in 2012 and was awarded his second straight Gold Glove award, becoming the first Royal to win consecutive Gold Gloves since second baseman Frank White in 1986-87. Gordon played in a career-high 161 games and led all left fielders in the majors with 17 outfield assists, while making just two errors all year for a .994 fielding percentage. He saved 24 runs (sabermetric statistic) on the year, the most of any left fielder in baseball, according to FanGraphs. His offensive numbers were also impressive, as he set career highs in hits (189), doubles (51) and triples (5), while hitting .294 with 14 home runs and 72 RBIs. His 51 doubles led the majors.

Joba Chamberlain (2005-06)
2007-Present; New York Yankees Joba Chamberlain became an overnight sensation for the New York Yankees, propelling the franchise to a playoff appearance in 2007. He began the year in Class A Tampa and jumped four levels in his first professional season. He finished the season in the Majors, going 2-0 with a 0.38 ERA in 19 appearances, striking out 34 over 24 innings of work after being called up on Aug. 7. He earned his first MLB win against Seattle on Sept. 5, tossing a perfect inning of relief and followed up 11 days later with a victory over Boston. Chamberlain, a first-round pick in 2006, began his Yankee career by not allowing a run in his first 15.1 innings, the second-longest streak in franchise history and the longest in over a century. Chamberlain continued his development in 2008, going 4-3 with a 2.60 ERA for the Yankees, making 42 appearances, including 12 starts for the Bronx Bombers. He played an important role in the Yankees’ 27th world title in 2009, going 9-6 with a 4.75 ERA in 43 starts during the regular season. In the playoffs, he was even better, posting a 1-0 record with a 2.84 ERA in 10 games, earning a win in the World Series for the Yankees. Chamberlain was moved to the bullpen for the 2010 season and appeared in 73 games, the fifth-most in the American League. He posted three saves and struck out 77 hitters in 71.2 innings. Chamberlain’s 2011 season was cut short due to a torn ligament in his right elbow that forced him to have Tommy John surgery. He went 2-0 in the short season and served as the team’s set-up man to Mariano Rivera. Chamberlain pitched in 27 games with 24 strikeouts in 28.2 innings of work and a 2.83 ERA. After recoving from Tommy John surgery, Chamberlain was bit by the injury bug again prior to the start of the 2012 season when he suffered an ankle injury and started the year on the 60-day disabled list. Chamberlain worked hard and returned to the mound for the Yankees on Aug. 1 against the Baltimore Orioles. He made 22 appearances during the regular season and struck out 22 batters over 20.2 innings of work. In the 2012 postseason, Chamberlain threw 2.1 innings over four games, including three games against the American League Champion Detroit Tigers. Year 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Totals

Brian Duensing (2003-05)
2009-Present; Minnesota Twins Brian Duensing made the Minnesota Twins’ opening day roster in 2009. He had just one appearance before returning to Triple-A Rochester in April. Duensing was recalled by the Twins on July 3, and played a major role in Minnesota’s late-season run to the AL Central pennant, going 5-2 with a 3.64 ERA in 24 games, including a 5-1 mark with a 2.73 ERA in nine starts. Duensing, a third-round pick by the Twins in the 2005 MLB Draft, started the Twins’ opener in the 2009 ALDS, becoming only the third Twins rookie to start a playoff game since the franchise moved to Minnesota in 1961. Duensing made a name for himself during the 2010 season as one of the Twins’ most reliable starters. He went 10-3 with a 2.62 ERA and was at his best down the stretch, earning a spot in the starting rotation in July and then posting his first career shutout less than a month later. He was Minnesota’s No. 3 starter in the 2010 playoffs. Duensing served as the Twins’ No. 3 starter in 2011 and started a career-high 28 games. Minnesota was hit hard by injuries all season, including Duensing, who missed time with an oblique strain. He won nine games for Ron Garndenhire’s club and topped 100 strikeouts for the first time in his career with 115. The year was highlighted on July 4 with a complete-game shutout of the Tampa Bay Rays at Target Field, as Duensing gave up just six hits and struck out seven. Duensing worked as a starter and out of the bullpen for the Twins in 2012, as he made 55 appearances, including 11 starts. He finished the season with a 5.12 ERA over 109.9 innings of work. His 69 strikeouts to 27 walks gave him a 2.5-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Year 2009 2010 2011 2012 Totals

Brown played in 11 games in June before being sent back to the minors. He was later claimed off waivers by the Colorado Rockies on Oct. 12, 2011. He played 100 games for the Rockies’ Triple-A club in 2012, but was also called up for 46 games in Denver. Brown finished the season with 26 hits, including seven doubles and five homers in 112 at-bats with the Major-League club.

Gordon’s Professional Statistics
2013 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM
Alex Gordon earned a place among the finest players in school history during his three-year career, becoming the first Husker to earn national player-of-the-year honors in 2005. Gordon swept nearly every major honor that season, including the Dick Howser Trophy, the Brooks Wallace Award and the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award, in leading NU to 57 wins and the school’s first College World Series victory. Gordon began his professional career with a flourish in 2006, hitting .325 with 39 doubles, 29 home runs and 100 RBIs en route to being named Baseball America’s Minor League Player of the Year. He ranked second among all minor leaguers in total bases (286) and fourth in runs scored (111) and ranked in the top 10 among all minor leaguers in homers, RBIs and slugging percentage. Gordon continued his rapid rise in 2007, starting at third base for the Kansas City Royals on opening day. He finished the year with a .247 average with 36 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, 60 RBIs and 60 runs scored while going 14-of-18 on the base paths. Gordon led all American League rookies in extra-base hits (55) and was in the top three among American League rookies in six other categories, including homers and RBIs. In 2008, Gordon raised his average to .260 and belted 16 homers despite missing part of the year with a hip flexor. Gordon’s continued development helped Kansas City to its best record since 2003. Gordon battled a hip injury that required surgery in 2009, as he played in just 49 contests, hitting .232 with six homers and 22 RBIs. A broken thumb slowed Gordon’s progress in 2010 and he later went to Triple-A Omaha to adjust his position change to outfield. He returned to Kansas City and went on to play in 74 games, hitting .215 with eight homers and 10 doubles. Playing as the Royals’ everyday left fielder in 2011, Gordon shined in the field and produced his best offensive season as a Royal. For his defensive efforts, Gordon became the 19th Royal, but only the third since 1989, to earn a Rawlings Gold Glove Award and the first former Husker to be selected for the award since 2004 when Darin Erstad collected his third Gold Glove. The award was the first of Gordon’s career after he led the league with a club-record 20 assists. Offensively, Gordon set career highs in batting average (.303), runs (101), home runs (23), RBIs (87), stolen bases (17) on-base percentage (.376) and slugging percentage (.502). Gordon continued to flash one of the top gloves in the game in 2012 and was awarded his second straight Gold Glove award, becoming the first Royal to win consecutive Gold Gloves since second baseman Frank White in 1986-87. Gordon played in a career-high 161 games and led all left fielders in the majors with 17 outfield assists, while making just two errors all year for a .994 fielding percentage. He saved 24 runs (sabermetric statistic) on the year, the most of any left fielder in baseball, according to FanGraphs. His offensive numbers were also impressive, as he set career highs in hits (189), doubles (51) and triples (5), while hitting .294 with 14 home runs and 72 RBIs. His 51 doubles led the majors. A career .355 hitter in three seasons at Nebraska, Gordon finished his Husker career in the top 10 in eight offensive categories: total bases (447, third); homers (44, fourth); RBIs (189, fourth); doubles (53, fourth); runs (188, eighth); hits (249, ninth); slugging percentage (.657, ninth) and triples (11, 10th). Gordon played every game of his final two seasons at NU and closed his career with 171 consecutive starts. The Lincoln, Neb., native capped his career by becoming the No. 2 overall pick by the Kansas City Royals in June of 2005. His selection was the highest by a Husker since Darin Erstad was tabbed No. 1 by the Anaheim (now Los Angeles) Angels 10 years earlier. Gordon is the highest draft pick in Big 12 baseball history. In his final season at Nebraska, Gordon led the Huskers to a sweep of the Big 12 regularseason and tournament titles, hitting .372 with 19 homers, 66 RBIs and 23 stolen bases. A twotime Big 12 Player of the Year, Gordon led the conference in six categories, and ranked among the league leaders in all 12 offensive categories. He became the first player since Baylor’s Jason Jennings to repeat as Big 12 Player of the Year.

During his playing career, Erstad won a World Series ring with the Angels in 2002 and appeared in the MLB Playoffs three times. In 2005, Erstad helped the Angels to their second straight American League West title, batting .273 with seven homers and 66 RBIs. He was second among American League first basemen with a .997 fielding percentage and was honored for his charitable work, as he was selected as the Angels’ recipient of the 2005 Roberto Clemente Award for his efforts in the Southern California community. Erstad made Major League history in 2004, becoming the first player to ever win Gold Gloves in the infield and outfield when he was chosen as the Gold Glove winner at first base. Erstad won his two previous Gold Gloves as a center fielder in 2000 and 2002. He ranked third among American League first basemen with a .996 fielding percentage in 2004, committing four errors in 1,056 total chances. Erstad helped the Angels to their first American League West Division title in 16 years, batting .295 with seven homers and 69 RBIs. During the 2002 regular season, he batted .283 with 10 homers and 73 RBIs, while leading the Angels with 23 stolen bases. Defensively, he led all AL center fielders with a .998 fielding percentage, committing one error in 473 total chances, en route to his second Gold Glove in three years. During the postseason, Erstad batted .352 with a pair of homers, while tying a Major League record with 25 hits in the Angels’ first playoff appearance since 1986. He enjoyed a career year in 2000, leading the Majors with 240 base hits, batting .355 and topping the Angels in seven categories, including average, runs, hits, total bases and stolen bases. His 240 hits tied for the 12th most in Major League history and the most since Wade Boggs had 240 in 1985. Erstad earned an All-Star bid for the second time and won his first Gold Glove, committing three errors in 362 total chances for a .992 fielding percentage. In 1998, he hit .296 with 82 RBIs and 84 runs scored, and became an All-Star for the first time in his career. His jump to the Major Leagues came after only one year in the minors. Erstad hit .284 with four homers and 20 runs batted in during 57 games as a rookie in 1996. In 1997, he landed the Angels’ starting first base job, finishing the season with a .299 average and 16 home runs. In 1998, Erstad played in 133 games and hit .296 with 19 home runs and 82 RBIs. Erstad spent his last two seasons with the Houston Astros, hitting .276 with four homers and 31 RBIs in his first season with the club. The 140 games he appeared in during the 2008 season was his highest total since 2005. In 2007, he appeared in 87 games for the Chicago White Sox after spending his first 11 years with the Angels, hitting .248 with four homers and 32 RBIs despite a sprained ankle that restricted his playing time. It was the second straight year that Erstad battled injuries, as he played in just 40 contests in 2006, his final season with Los Angeles. A two-sport star at Nebraska, Erstad was a first-team All-American and Big Eight Co-Player of the Year as a junior in 1995, batting .410 with 19 homers and 76 RBIs. A Golden Spikes Award finalist as a junior, he finished his Husker career holding school records for most hits (six), runs (six), and RBIs (six) in a game; most hits (103) and total bases (194) in a single season (1995) and most career hits (261). In addition to his exploits on the diamond, Erstad, a two-time academic all-conference selection, was also the starting punter for the Huskers’ 1994 national championship football team, helping NU to a 13-0 record.

he Nebraska baseball program has been one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier programs for the last decade. The Huskers have qualified for the NCAA Tournament in nine of the past 14 years including College World Series appearances in 2001, 2002 and 2005. In 2007, Baseball America ranked the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top programs since 1999 in several categories including winning percentage, NCAA Tournament appearances, Super Regional and College World Series appearances, All-Americans, players drafted in the top 10 rounds and players reaching the Major Leagues. Nebraska ranked 11th nationally among all programs and was the only Northern program ranked in the top 15.
Nebraska baseball has a long history of producing All-Americans, as the Huskers have totaled 98 AllAmerica certificates. Bob Cerv was the first Husker to be named an All-American in 1950, when he was first-team selection by the American Baseball Coaches Association. Following the 2012 season, designated hitter Michael Pritchard was named a third-team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, while Pat Kelly and Kyle Kubat each earned freshman All-America accolades.

n addition to Hawks Field at Haymarket Park, the Nebraska baseball team enjoys several first-class support facilities, including the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex, the Hawks Championship Center and the Huskers’ new indoor practice facility right next to Hawks Field Construction of the new $4.75 million indoor practice facility began in November of 2010 and was completed in less than one year in September of 2011. The 22,000-square foot building features a large indoor practice area, along with restrooms and storage facilities. The facility is conveniently located on the northeast corner of Haymarket Park, just a few feet from Nebraska’s locker room, clubhouse, athletic medicine facilities and coaches’ offices. The practice area has an open design, with 18,000 square feet of usable space. The space is lined with netting, allowing for the entire area to be used for live batting practice and game simulation. The facility features six retractable batting cages. The batting cages are designed to be large enough to allow for batters to face pitchers in live simulation at the correct pitching distance. When not in use, the cages can be easily retracted to allow for use of the entire space. The Hawks Championship Center, located within the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex, opened in 2006. The Osborne Complex serves as the home of Nebraska’s Strength Complex, Athletic Medicine Center and NU’s administrative offices. The Osborne Complex was part of a $50 million expansion to Memorial Stadium, which also increased the capacity of the stadium by nearly 6,500 seats, above 80,000 for the first time in history.

or more than a decade, one of the hallmarks for the success of the Nebraska baseball program have been its player development. From strength and conditioning, nutrition and skill instruction, players are ready for the rigors of professional baseball following their Husker experience. Since 2000, Nebraska has had 23 players selected in the top-10 rounds of the Major League Baseball FirstYear Player Draft, including third baseman Cody Asche in 2011. Of those 23 players, only six had been drafted before embarking on their Husker career, including none in the first 20 rounds. Players (from left) such as Joba Chamberlain, Mike Mariot, Jeff Christy and Jake Opitz are among the many Huskers who improved their draft position during their time at NU. The Huskers have averaged more than five draftees a year since 2000, including eight players drafted in 2001, 2006 and 2007, which is one shy of the school-record nine draftees in 1983.

THE BIG TEN CONFERENCE
On July 1, 2010, the University of Nebraska became an official member of the Big Ten Conference, increasing the Big Ten’s membership to 12 institutions for the first time in conference history. The addition of Nebraska marked the Big Ten’s first expansion since Penn State University joined the conference in June of 1990. The Big Ten Conference is a union of 12 world-class academic institutions – who share a common mission of research, graduate, professional and undergraduate teaching and public service. The conference’s 100-plus years of history, strong tradition of competitive intercollegiate athletic programs, vast and passionate alumni base, and consistent leadership in innovations position the Big Ten and its entire community firmly on the Big Stage. The Big Ten has sustained a comprehensive set of shared practices and policies that enforce the priority of academics and emphasize the values of integrity, fairness and competitiveness in all aspects of its student-athletes’ lives, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that each individual has the opportunity to live a Big Life. The Big Ten is set to expand to 14 teams for the 2014-15 academic year when Maryland and Rutgers join the conference.
