A new $4.75 million indoor practice facility was completed in September 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 feet from Nebraska’s locker room, clubhouse, athletic medicine facilities and coaches’ ofďŹ ces. 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 also 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 are easily retracted to allow for use of the entire space.

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

2012 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM

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

Myrna and Howard Hawks were long-time supporters of the Husker baseball program and were instrumental in getting Haymarket Park built. The field is named after Myrna, who passed away on Jan. 24, 2001.

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

THREE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES APPEARANCES

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. The Huskers have enjoyed their new home, posting a 229-78-1 (.745) record at Hawks Field over the past 10 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.

2012 Season Outlook Huskers Enter New Era in 2012 performer Casey Hauptman. Three pitchers are likely to get a shot at the job in 2012, including Tyler Niederklein, Travis Huber and Brandon Pierce. Niederklein was a weekend starter for the Huskers in 2011 and posted a 8-3 record, but Erstad likes his attitude on the mound and thinks Niederklein has the right makeup to close game. Pierce was second on the team last year in saves with two, while Huber is a hard-throwing transfer from the College of Southern Idaho. The right-hander has been selected twice in the MLB Draft by the Florida Marlins. Two of the spots in the weekend rotation are likely to go to sophomore Jon Keller and junior Tom Lemke. Keller got great experience as a true freshman with 14 starts last season and was second on the team with 64.2 innings worked. Lemke, who is coming off surgery to remove a blood clot this summer, looks to have his first healthy season at Nebraska after joining the team from Northwest Christian High School in Phoenix, Ariz., where he was a 10th-round pick by the Texas Rangers. The young bullpen will lean on the experience of junior Dylan Vogt, who worked 47.0 innings over 21 appearances last season, which was tied for second on the team. Spots throughout the bullpen are up for grabs and should create great competition for time on the mound. 14

Kash Kalkowski made the seamless transition to a position player in 2011 and earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors. Kalkowski was a pitcher as a freshman in 2009 and saw just four at bats before redshirting in 2010 with an injury.

Coaching Staff

The Nebraska baseball team is starting with a clean slate in 2012 as the Darin Erstad era begins at Haymarket Park. Along with a new coaching staff and a roster that includes 12 new players, the Huskers will enter their first season of Big Ten baseball after 15 successful seasons in the Big 12 Conference that included three regular-season titles and four tournament crowns. A 14-year MLB veteran and World Series champion, Erstad takes over at his alma mater where he was one of the most successful players in program history. Prior to becoming the No. 1 overall pick in the 1995 amateur draft, Erstad was a firstteam All-American and the Big Eight Co-Player of the Year as a junior in 1995. “It is a great honor to be the head coach of the Nebraska baseball program,” Erstad said. “My family and I believe strongly in what the University stands for, and I am excited to have this opportunity to help influence kids’ lives in a positive way and help them turn into young men. I am committed to helping them grow as people.” Erstad is not the only former Husker on his coaching staff, as he brought on Will Bolt as his associate head coach and Jeff Christy as the team’s volunteer assistant. A four-year starter and team captain on Nebraska’s 2001 and 2002 College World Series teams, Bolt was a volunteer assistant on the Huskers’ 2005 squad that set a school record with 57 wins and produced the program’s first win at the College World Series. Christy was a junior on the 2005 team and caught a school-record 64 games that season. “It is an incredible opportunity to come back to a place where I had so many fond memories as a player and coach,” Bolt said. “I am humbled and excited to work at my alma mater, and looking forward to making an impact in a coaching role and helping this program reach its goals. It is an honor to be included on a staff 2012 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM

put together by a Husker legend and long-time big leaguer in Coach Erstad.” For his pitching coach, Erstad plucked Ted Silva away from California where he had coached at UC Irvine and Loyola Marymount over the past four seasons. As a player, Silva was a first-team All-American at Cal State Fullerton and earned the win in the Titans’ 1995 national championship game against USC at the College World Series.

After catching a career-high 30 games in 2011, Cory Burleson returns for his senior year as the most experienced catcher on the team following the departure of Patric Tolentino. Not only will Burleson need to mentor a young pitching staff, but he will also need to continue to improve on his run production after ranking fifth on the team last season with 21 RBIs in 40 games. Sam Stucky is the only catcher who has stepped on the field in a Husker jersey, as he saw action in four games last season. Prior to the start of practice, Erstad raved about Stucky’s work ethic during the offseason. “Sam didn’t get much playing time last season, but all he has done is work harder than anyone else on the team this offseason,” Erstad said. Also available behind the plate are junior transfer Richard Stock and freshman Taylor Fish. Stock will provide a power bat off the bench and has two years of eligibility left after playing at Southern Cal and Pierce College in Los Angeles. While at USC, Stock pulled off the rare feat of hitting a home run on the first pitch he saw in his first career at bat. Fish will learn from the veterans of the group during his freshman season after earning a spot on the team as a walk-on from Kearney.

Fans will see a re-tooled Husker infield in 2012 as only second baseman Bryan Peters will be back in the same position he played a year ago. After posting 53 of his 55 starts at first base in 2011, junior Kurt Farmer will switch corners in 2012 and take over for the departed Cody Asche at third base. Farmer will have big shoes to fill, as Asche led the Huskers in nearly every offensive category, including a school-record 27 doubles, on his way to being drafted in the fourth round by the Philadelphia Phillies. The staff is confident in Farmer, after he hit .275 and drove in 32 runs in his first season as a full-time starter in 2011. He should also provide a great glove at the hot corner, as Erstad believes he has the best hands on the team. To Farmer’s left will be true freshman Pat Kelly out of Red Wing, Minn. Kelly looked great during the fall and earned the confidence of the coaching staff. He looks to be the first freshman to start a season opener at shortstop since Ben Kline started their as a freshman in 2008 at Stanford. Peters will once again lock down the second base position after starting 55 games a year ago. Along with being solid in the field, Peter led the team in hit-by-pitches (18), sacrifices (18) and stolen bases (12) last season. One of the biggest surprises a year ago was the transformation of Kash Kalkowski. The Grand Island native started his Husker career as a pitcher in 2009 and had just four at-bats. Following a redshirt year in 2010 while recovering from surgery, Kalkowski successfully made the transition to the field and was arguably the team’s top offensive threat behind Asche last season. After earning all his starts in 2011 in the outfield and at designated hitter, Kalkowski will look to continue his offensive growth, while moving to first base. Erstad will look to junior Josh Scheffert to play both corners of the infield, as a designated hitter and possibly on the mound. Following a down season in 2011, Scheffert has put in the time during the offseason to rebound in 2012. Freshman Blake Headley can play any spot in the infield and Austin Christensen could see time at first base, designated hitter and on the mound. Headley was unable to play during the fall due to a wrist injury, while Christensen saw time on the mound and in the field. The younger brother of junior Chad Christensen, Austin came to Nebraska as a pitcher, but hit .400 (4-for-10) with a double, three runs scored and an RBI during the team’s annual Red-White Series in the fall to earn playing time in the field as well.

Many players will be vying for time in the outfield this year with all three spots open. Senior Kale Kiser made his transition to the outfield with ease last season after playing the infield his first two seasons at Nebraska. Kiser drew 41 of his 51 starts in the outfield and was a table-setter for the Huskers with an on-base percentage of .417. Junior Chad Christensen is a veteran on the diamond for the Huskers, but will be a rookie in the outfield this season. After starting all 55 games at shortstop in 2011, Christensen will look to take his defensive skills to one of the three outfield spots in 2012 “We’re excited to have Chad’s speed and athleticism in the outfield,” Erstad said. “The biggest thing for him will be repetition. Chad is one of the hardest workers on the team though. He’ll take fly balls all day long. He’ll be ready to play for us out there.” Sophomore Michael Pritchard is the youngest of the returning players and will most likely see most of his time at designated hitter. One of the best hitters on the team, Pritchard provides the Huskers with a solid bat on the left side of the plate after hitting .304 as a freshman with an on-base percentage of nearly .400. The four returners will also be pushed by a group of newcomers in Austin Darby, Ty Kildow, Rich Sanguinetti and Quentin Urban. Sanguinetti has the most experience of the group, as he is a junior college transfer from Texarkana CC, where current Associate Head Coach Will Bolt was the head coach the last four seasons. The junior is a pure hitter and has great baseball speed, evident by his perfect 5-for-5 in stolen base attempts in three games during the team’s fall Red-White Series. Darby is also solid at the plate and the coaches know they need to get him on the field because of his ability to drive in runs, while Urban is one of the best athletes on the team. Urban originally committed to South Dakota to play football before switching his commitment to Nebraska following the hiring of Erstad as head coach. Kildow joins the Husker baseball team after two seasons of football at Nebraska. A three-time first-team Super State pick at Millard South, Kildow is arguably the fastest player on the 2012 squad. He hit .431 as a senior for the Patriots and stole 29 bases.

The Huskers will play 31 home games at Hawks Field and will have 13 contests against 2011 NCAA Tournament teams, including a four-game home stand against 2011 College World Series qualifier California. The 56-game schedule starts with 10 games on the road before the Huskers host their home opener against former Big 12 foe Kansas State on Tuesday, March 6. The Huskers will play eight Big Ten Conference series, with three conference schools not on the schedule, including Penn State and Michigan State, as well as Wisconsin, which doesn’t have a baseball program. Erstad will start his first season as NU’s head coach on Friday, Feb. 17, when the Huskers open a three-game series with Gonzaga in Peoria, Ariz. The Huskers then head to Corpus Christi, Texas, the following weekend to play four games in three days with two games against Utah, as well as one each against Texas A&MCorpus Christi and UNLV. Nebraska will open the month of March at the Dairy Queen Classic in Minneapolis, Minn., with games against West Virginia, New Mexico State and Minnesota. The Huskers then return home for a 17-game home stand that starts and ends with games against Kansas State. The Huskers and California Golden Bears will open their four-game series on Friday, March 9, with first-pitch set for 1:35 p.m. It will mark the second straight year that the Huskers have hosted a nonconference series against a team that played in the College World Series the previous season, after NU hosted 2010 CWS qualifier UCLA during the 2011 campaign. Following the Cal series, the Huskers will host South Dakota State (March 13), Louisiana Tech (March 16-18) and Northern Colorado (March 20-21) before Illinois comes to Lincoln for NU’s first Big Ten Conference series. The Fighting Illini will enter Lincoln as the league’s defending conference tournament champion after defeating Michigan State last season. After completing their 17-game home stand with Kansas State on Tuesday, March 27, the Huskers head to Evanston, Ill., for their first Big Ten road series when they visit Northwestern for a three-game series that starts on Friday, March 30. The month of April starts with the final game of the Northwestern series and is followed by a mid-week road trip to Manhattan for a final meeting with KSU on Tuesday, April 3. The Huskers host Iowa (April 6-8) the following weekend before playing the first of three games against Creighton on Tuesday, April 10, at Hawks Field. The final two games will be at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha on Tuesday, April 24, and Tuesday, May 8. April also includes a conference road series at Ohio State (April 1315) and a home series with Purdue (April 20-22), while the month concludes with a three-game slate against CSU Bakersfield at Hawks Field starting on Friday, April 27. It will be the Roadrunners’ second trip to Lincoln in four years, after they took 2-of-3 games from the Huskers during the 2009 campaign. Along with non-conference games with Missouri Valley programs Creighton and Wichita State in May, the Huskers finish out the conference season with trips to Indiana and Michigan, as well as a home stand with Minnesota. The 2012 postseason will open on Wednesday, May 23, when NU hopes to be one of the league’s six teams that advance to the Big Ten Tournament. The five-day tournament is held at Huntington Park in Columbus, Ohio, which is the home park of the Cleveland Indians’ Triple-A organization, the Columbus Clippers.

Darin Erstad

#17

Head Coach • First Year Darin Erstad was named the 23rd head coach of the Nebraska baseball program - and the fifth since 1947 - on June 2, 2011. 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.

44

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, 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 2012 season. His 240 hits are tied for 13th in Major League history entering the 2012 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 (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. 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 Erstad served as the Huskers’ volunteer assistant coach during the 2011 season. 2012 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM

Will Bolt

#6

Associate Head Coach • First 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 the past four seasons as the head coach at Texarkana College. He oversees NU’s infield unit and helps direct the Husker offense. 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 seven 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. “It is an incredible opportunity to come back to a place where I had so many fond memories as a player and coach,” Bolt said. “I am humbled and excited to work at my alma mater, and looking forward to making an impact in a coaching role and helping this program reach its goals. It is an honor to be included on a staff put together by a Husker legend and long-time big leaguer in Coach (Darin) Erstad.” 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, including Rich Sanguinetti, who was named the 2011 Region XIV Conference Player of the Year and followed Bolt to Nebraska, as he will play his junior season for the Huskers in 2012. In just his second season, Bolt led Texarkana to one of its best seasons in school history, as the 2009 squad finished the year ranked 21st nationally and fell one game short of reaching the NJCAA College World Series. The 40-15 campaign was led by a school-record eight players selected to the all-conference team, including All-America picks John Stilson and David Allday. Stilson, one of six players on the 2009 team to sign with a Division I school, earned 2010 firstteam All-America honors at Texas A&M, as he led the nation with a 0.80 ERA. During the 2009 season, Bolt’s offense finished first in the league in eight major offensive categories. The Bulldogs defended their conference title the following season, claiming the 2010 championship with a 36-21 overall record, including a 20-8 league mark. Seven players were named to the all-conference team and nine signed with Division I schools. The 2011 Bulldogs nearly claimed a third straight league title before finishing second, while compiling a 31-23 overall record. Sanguinetti earned Region XIV Conference Player-of-the-Year accolades, hitting .388 in league play and leading the conference in doubles (6), triples (4), home runs (3) and RBIs (21). 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. NU compiled a 57-15 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. A member of Dave Van Horn’s first recruiting class, Bolt was a four-year starter and team captain on Nebraska’s 2001 and 2002 College World Series teams. The infielder played an instrumental role in helping Nebraska to four NCAA Regionals, three Super Regionals and back-to-back College World Series appearances. Bolt was the Minneapolis Regional MVP as a

He finished his career holding six school records, including games played (251), games started (242), at-bats (922), hits (281), doubles (56) and assists (639).

His 639 assists were also the most in Big 12 history. In the classroom, Bolt was a two-time academic All-Big 12 honoree and graduated in 2003 with a degree in communication studies before earning his master’s degree in 2006.

Ted Silva

#12

assistant coach/pitching coach • first year Ted Silva was hired as Nebraska’s pitching coach on June 17, 2011. Silva joined the Huskers from the West Coast, where he spent the past four seasons as the pitching coach at UC Irvine and Loyola Marymount. Silva, a native of Redondo Beach, Calif., and a 1995 AllAmerica 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. “I know the University of Nebraska sets the bar high with its great tradition, fan support and facilities,” said Silva, who was an assistant coach for UC Irvine at the 2008 Lincoln Regional. “Now having the opportunity to come back and work with Coach (Darin) Erstad is extremely humbling and exciting. I have been fortunate to be a part of some great teams the past few years, and I cannot wait to help this prestigious university. It is an exciting time for the Nebraska baseball program.” In Silva’s first season as pitching coach, UC Irvine 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 unit 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. 46

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). During his first two seasons, Wheeler was 1-4 with a 7.80 ERA before improving to 6-4 with a 3.84 ERA in his junior year under Silva. Gillingham, who earned 2011 first-team All-West Coast Conference honors, saw similar improvement, as he was 6-8 with a 5.51 ERA before producing an 8-4 campaign in 2011 with a 2.49 ERA. 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. Scott Gorgen (2008) and Daniel Bibona (2009-10) collected Big West Pitcher-of-the-Year accolades in Silva’s three years at UCI to give Silva a hand in five Big West Conference Pitcher-of-the-Year 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 2.92 ERA and 26 saves, the fourth-most in school history. Silva, who earned 1995 first-team All-America honors, played a key role in the Titans’ run to the national title, including earning the win in the championship game against USC. The 1995 Big West Conference Pitcher of the Year, Silva finished the season as the national leader in victories with a single-season schoolrecord 18 wins (18-1) to go along with six saves. He produced a 2.83 ERA with 142 strikeouts. 2012 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM

Tom Osborne athletic director • fifth year • hastings college (1959) Hall of Fame football coach Tom Osborne has continued to leave a lasting impression on the history of Nebraska Athletics since returning to lead the Husker program as the school’s 13th athletic director on Oct. 16, 2007. Osborne, who led Nebraska to three national championships (1994, 1995, 1997) and 255 victories in his 25 years as the Huskers’ head football coach, has continued to use his impressive leadership skills to guide the NU athletic department as a whole over the past four seasons. With the core values of integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty serving as guiding principles for Nebraska’s 23-sport program as a whole, Osborne has made historic decisions to help the University of Nebraska athletic programs for years to come. In June of 2010, Osborne joined Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman and Big Ten Conference Commissioner Jim Delany to announce the Huskers would join the Big Ten beginning on July 1, 2011. Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten is expected to add University-wide academic opportunities, while providing financial stability for the athletic department for years to come. Just a few months later, Osborne announced an aggressive expansion plan for the east side of Memorial Stadium that will increase attendance past 90,000 for the first time, while continuing Nebraska’s NCAA record-setting sellout streak. The expansion, which is set for completion before the 2013 football season, will include athletic and academic research components. In the spring of 2010, the city of Lincoln also received voter approval to begin construction on the 16,000-seat Pinnacle Bank Arena, which will serve as the new competitive home for both Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball programs beginning in 2013-14.

The basketball programs, the wrestling program and many of NU’s other sports will also benefit from the Hendricks Training Complex at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The facility, which opened in October of 2011, will include new practice and team areas, in addition to expanded athletic medicine and strength training areas. The Nebraska baseball and softball programs will also benefit from a new indoor practice facility at Haymarket Park, which is opened in October of 2011. The first step in Osborne’s aggressive building plan for Nebraska’s facilities began in the summer of 2010, as the Huskers broke ground on the Student Life Complex on the west side of Memorial Stadium. The Student Life Complex, which opened in the fall of 2010, directly benefits every Husker student-athlete with expanded academic resources. While Osborne has helped initiate landmark moves off the field, he has continued to help coaches and student-athletes focus on Nebraska’s tradition of success in competition. In fact, the Huskers have enjoyed renewed success in Osborne’s first four years as athletic director. In 2010-11, eight Husker teams finished among the top 20 in the nation, while 15 NU squads advanced to postseason play in their respective sports, including the Husker football team’s second straight Holiday Bowl appearance. One of Osborne’s first major decisions as athletic director was to hire Bo Pelini as the Huskers’ football coach. Pelini, who had spent the 2003 campaign as NU’s defensive coordinator, has energized Nebraska’s storied tradition with four consecutive nine-win seasons and a trio of Big 12 North Division titles in his first three years. In 2009 and 2010, Pelini’s Huskers finished among the top 20 teams in the nation in the final polls. The tradition-rich NU volleyball program has claimed three Big 12 and its first Bit Ten title and advanced to three NCAA Sweet 16 appearances, while the women’s basketball program has earned two NCAA Tournament trips, while notching the best season in school history with a 2010 Big 12 title and a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16. The NU wrestling program shared the 2009 Big 12 title and finished in the top 16 at four straight NCAA Championships. The NU men’s and women’s track and field teams combined for three conference crowns, while producing seven top-20 finishes indoors and outdoors over the past four years.

Tom and Nancy Osborne

The men’s and women’s gymnastics teams have produced top-10 NCAA finishes the past two years, including a school-record-tying fourth-place showing by the women in 2011.

2012 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM

The Husker bowling team won the 2009 NCAA title and has finished in the top eight at the NCAA Championships each of the past four years. The NU rifle team has produced a pair of top-six NCAA finishes in the last four years, while the men’s and women’s tennis teams both earned NCAA Tournament trips in 2010 and 2011. The 2010 NCAA first-round victory for the women was the first in school history, while the men’s appearance in 2010 was the first in school history.

The Husker softball team has made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, while the Husker women’s golf and baseball programs both earned NCAA Regional bids in 2008.

Osborne made his second coaching hire since his return to Nebraska, when he named twotime Major League All-Star, three-time Gold Glove award winner, and former No. 1 MLB Draft pick Darin Erstad as the baseball team’s new coach on June 2, 2011. Erstad was not only one of the best Husker baseball players in history, he was the starting punter on NU’s 1994 national championship football team coached by Osborne. While the Huskers have continued to make advancements in competition and in recruiting under Osborne’s guidance, they have continued to set the bar high academically. Nebraska led the Big 12 with 14 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2010-11. NU has increased its nation-leading total to 294 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans all-time, across all sports. The Huskers also led the Big 12 with a league-record 192 academic all-conference selections, along with a conference-record 688 Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll selections. NU graduated 113 student-athletes from August of 2010 through May of 2011. Before being asked by Chancellor Perlman to return to Nebraska as athletic director in 2007, Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district) from 2000 to 2006. He returned to academia following a 2006 gubernatorial bid, serving as a senior lecturer at Nebraska in the College of Business Administration, teaching leadership and business ethics, in the fall of 2007. Osborne also worked as a consultant for local college athletic departments for two years. Osborne and his wife, Nancy, continue to pour their time and support into the TeamMates mentoring program, which they founded in 1991. TeamMates provides encouragement to school-aged youth to help them graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education. Osborne’s leadership of the TeamMates program began while he was putting the final touches on one of the best coaching careers in college football history. The Hastings, Neb., native, who earned master’s and doctoral degrees in educational psychology from the University of Nebraska, was named NU’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season. In 25 seasons with Osborne at the helm, the Huskers mounted a 255-49-3 record - the sixthmost wins in major college history. Osborne’s .836 winning percentage ranked fifth all-time. His career came to a close with a 42-17 win over No. 3 Tennessee in the 1998 Orange Bowl, when he became the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion. Following his career, he became one of just four coaches in history to have the mandatory threeyear waiting period waived for induction into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in December of 1998. Osborne’s 1994 and 1995 teams allowed Nebraska to become just the second school in history to post back-to-back perfect national championship seasons (Oklahoma 1955-56). Nebraska put together the best five-year run in college football history from 1993 to 1997, going 60-3 with five straight 11-win seasons. Osborne led NU to 13 conference crowns, including six of his last seven seasons on the sideline. All 25 of his Husker teams won at least nine games and went to a bowl, while 15 won 10-or-more games. In the classroom, the NU football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in Osborne’s 25 years. In fact, he accumulated more football Academic All-Americans in his 25 years as coach than any other football program in the nation has produced in its history. Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers win back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971. In 1973, Osborne succeeded Devaney, who also served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 1967 to 1993. Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have three adult children, Mike, Ann and Suzanne and four grandchildren.

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 9/10; 11/12; 13/14; and 15 - high school seniors. Improve your team. Improve your game.

Intensive Hitting Camps

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.

Hitting Camp

This one-day camp will take you through the drills and hitting techniques used at the University of Nebraska. This camp is open to 7-year olds through high school seniors.

Comprehensive Hitting Camps

This is a four-week class, meeting once a week for two hours (eight hours of total instruction). The hitting techniques and drills used in this camp are the same taught and practiced daily by Nebraska Baseball. This camp will focus less on individual instruction and more on a comprehensive training program with a special emphasis on routine and repetition.

Pitching Camp

Nebraska Baseball Summer Camps take place at Hawks Field. The complete summer schedule of camps will be available in March.

This one-day camp is designed to provide an introductory level of instruction to the Nebraska pitching philosophy, daily training regimens, delivery drills, pitches, and bullpen routines used by the Nebraska pitching staff. It will provide each participant with an understanding of his delivery, his pitches and the areas that need to be improved to enhance the pitching performance. This camp is great for a tune up or an introduction to pitching. This camp is open to 7-year olds through high school seniors.

Comprehensive Pitching/Catching Camps

This is a four-week class, meeting once a week for two hours (eight hours of total instruction). This progressive throwing program focuses on pitching mechanics and maximizing each pitcher’s delivery. The throwing progression is the same program taught and practiced daily by the Nebraska pitching staff. This camp will focus less on individual instruction and more on a comprehensive training program with a special emphasis on routine and repetition. Catchers will be required to bring their own catching gear.

Stars of Tomorrow Camp

The Nebraska Baseball Academy uses the Huskers’ new indoor practice facility for year-round training.

www.BigRedAcademy.com

2012 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM

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.

2011 Season Review All-American Asche Leads Huskers in 2011 Three Huskers Earn Big 12 Honors

Three Nebraska baseball players were recognized for their efforts in 2011, as they were named to the All-Big 12 team selected by the league’s coaches. Included in the group were first-team selection Cody Asche, second-team honoree Casey Hauptman and honorable-mention pick Kash Kalkowski. Asche, who became Nebraska’s first All-Big 12 third baseman since Alex Gordon in 2005, completed an outstanding regular season in which he finished as the Big 12’s leader in home runs (12), doubles (27), total bases (133), and slugging percentage (.639). He had a team-high 22 multiple-hit games in 2011, and shared NU’s longest hitting streak of the season at 12 games. Hauptman gave the Huskers their first relief pitcher on an AllBig 12 team since Brett Jensen in 2006. The Omaha, Neb., native established himself as one of the top relievers in the nation in 2011, ranking first in the NCAA in walks allowed (0.31) and seventh in the Big 12 in ERA (2.45). In a team-high 28 appearances, Hauptman did not allow an earned run 18 times. He compiled a 6-2 record and led the Huskers to an impressive 23-1 mark when leading after six innings.

58

Kalkowski was one of the biggest surprises of the season for the Nebraska baseball team in 2011. A former pitcher, Kalkowski put together a team-best 12-game hit streak in the first month of the season and earned a spot atop the NU lineup. The Grand Island, Neb., native finished the season hitting .299, while he ranked second on the team behind Asche with five home runs and 42 RBIs. Kalkowski also stole 11 bases in 13 attempts. With Asche and Hauptman’s honors, the Nebraska baseball team’s All-Big 12 selection total grew to 53. The team starts play as a member of the Big Ten Conference in 2012.

Asche Earns Second-Team All-America Honors

Cody Asche was honored as one of the top players in the nation during the 2011 season, as he was named a secondteam All-American by Collegiate Baseball. A native of O’Fallon, Mo., Asche was Nebraska’s first AllAmerican since Johnny Dorn in 2008 and the first Husker position player to earn national honors since 2006. The third baseman completed an outstanding regular season in which he finished as the Big 12’s leader in home runs (12), doubles (27), total bases (133), and slugging percentage (.639), while also ranking second in RBIs (56) and 12th in batting average (.327). Asche ended his junior campaign on fire, going 8-for-13 (.615) with four doubles and three RBIs while leading Nebraska to a series win over Missouri. He put an exclamation point on his year with a 4-for-4 day in the season finale, hitting three doubles to set Nebraska’s singleseason school record with 27, breaking the previous mark held by Jed Morris (2002) and Mike Duncan (1985). Asche also moved into a seventh-place tie on the all-time NU chart with 46 career doubles, which tied him with current Head Coach and former first-team All-American Darin Erstad (1993-95) and 1997 second-team All-American Todd Sears (1995-97).

Hauptman Claims CoSIDA Academic All-America

2012 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I THISISNEBRASKA.COM

Hauptman continued his baseball career to the professional ranks, as he was a 26th-round pick by the New York Mets in the 2011 MLB Draft.

Right-handed pitcher Casey Hauptman put a stamp on an impressive Husker career by capturing second-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.

Three Huskers Taken in MLB Draft

Hauptman became the second Academic All-America selection for the Husker baseball program in the past two seasons, as DJ Belfonte was a first-team honoree in 2010. Hauptman raised Nebraska’s all-time CoSIDA Academic All-America total in baseball to 19. Nebraska continues to lead the nation with 291 CoSIDA Academic All-America selections entering the 2011-12 school year.

The group included third baseman Cody Asche (fourth roundPhillies), pitcher Casey Hauptman (26th round-Mets) and outfielder Kash Kalkowski (50th round-Royals).

Hauptman established himself as one of the top relievers in the nation in 2011, ranking first in the NCAA in walks allowed (0.31) and seventh in the Big 12 in ERA (2.45). In a team-high 28 appearances, Hauptman compiled a 6-2 record and led the Huskers to an impressive 23-1 mark when leading after six innings. His eight saves ranked sixth on NU’s single-season save chart, while his 13 saves ranked fourth on the career list.

Cody Asche was named a second-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball after hitting .327 with 12 home runs, 56 RBIs and a single-season school record 27 doubles.

Right-hander Casey Hauptman earned second-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors and was picked in the 26th round of the MLB Draft by the New York Mets.

In the classroom, Hauptman was a three-time first-team academic All-Big 12 selection and was named to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll eight times.

A total of three Nebraska baseball players were selected in the 2011 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.

Asche was the highest drafted Husker since 2008, when pitcher Aaron Pribanic was taken in the third round by the Seattle Mariners. Asche’s selection was the highest by an NU position player since Alex Gordon was taken second overall in the 2005 MLB Draft by the Kansas City Royals. Hauptman’s selection marked the 24th consecutive season the Huskers have had at least two players picked in the MLB Draft. 2011 Major League Baseball Draftees Player, Pos.

Championship History

The Big Ten Tournament started in 1981 and has taken place every year since. Michigan won the inaugural title by defeating Minnesota, 106. Only five teams have won Big Ten Tournament crowns, led by Minnesota’s nine titles. Michigan and Ohio State sit second with eight titles each, while the defending tournament champion Illinois has won four times and Indiana has won the tournament twice. Minnesota also has the most tournament appearances with 27, as the Gophers have played in the conference tournament at the end of every season except 1989, 1996, 1997 and 2008. Michigan (21) and Ohio State (24) are the only other programs with 20 or more appearances, while Indiana, Iowa and Northwestern are tied for the least trips to the tournament with eight each.

The Big Ten Conference Formed more than 115 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. A NEW ERA FOR THE BIG TEN • The University of Nebraska-Lincoln officially joined the Big Ten on July 1, 2011, and will take part in competition in all sports during the 2011-12 academic year. • With the addition of Nebraska, Big Ten institutions sponsor 298 teams with more than 9,500 student-athletes competing for Big Ten Championships. More than 166,000 student-athletes participate in Division I intercollegiate athletics while pursuing higher education. • The Big Ten currently features 25 official conference sports, 12 for men and 13 for women. In June, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors approved a recommendation from administrators to establish men’s ice hockey as the 26th official conference sport beginning with the 2013-14 academic year. • Big Ten student-athletes receive more than $120 million annually in direct financial aid. 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 in the country. • 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 2011. The Big Ten ranks first with 23 top-25 programs in the fields of law, medical (research and primary care), business and engineering. • The Committee on Institutional Cooperation is a consortium featuring all 12 Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago that has generated unique opportunities for students and faculty by sharing expertise, leveraging resources and collaborating on programs. • In 2010-11, the Big Ten recognized a record 2,308 student-athletes who achieved cumulative grade point averages of 3.0 or better on Academic All-Conference teams. The conference also recognized a total of 535 student-athletes who earned a grade point average of 3.7 or higher for the 2010-11 academic year with the Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award. TELEVISION • The Big Ten’s media agreements with CBS, ABC/ESPN, FOX Sports and the Big Ten Network provide the conference with its greatest television exposure ever. • In 2006, the Big Ten created the first national conference-owned television network, launched on Aug. 30, 2007, and now in its fourth year of operation. It is available to approximately 75 million homes nationally, and appears in 19 of the top 20 national media markets. • The Big Ten’s current media agreements have resulted in the production and distribution of more than 900 events nationally on an annual basis, compared to 300 events in the final year of previous agreements. Since the current agreements began in 2007-08, every home football and men’s basketball game has been covered while women’s basketball has received more coverage than any other conference. NATIONAL SUCCESS • During the 2010-11 season, Big Ten schools claimed six team national championships, with titles for Northwestern women’s lacrosse, Ohio State synchronized swimming and men’s volleyball, Penn State women’s volleyball and wrestling and Wisconsin women’s ice hockey. • Big Ten teams have claimed at least three national titles in each of the last 10 seasons and lead all conferences with national titles in 13 different NCAA-sponsored championships from 2001-02 to 2010-11.

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.

His .355 on-base percentage ranked second among AL rookies, his 50 walks tied for second and his .451 slugging percentage ranked third.

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.

Gordon, Baseball America’s Minor League Player of the Year in 2006, hit .247 with 36 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, 60 RBI 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.

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.

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. Year 2009 2010 2011 Totals

After an initial relieving role, Kroenke made his first career start on Oct. 1, 2010 against the Los Angeles Dodgers and picked up the win, going five innings while giving up just two hits and one run. Kroenke was called up by the Diamondbacks at the end of May in 2011 and made four appearances, going 0-1 with three strikeouts in 4.0 innings. Year 2010 2011 Totals

Gordon’s Professional Statistics

2012 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), hits (185), runs (101), doubles (45), home runs (23), RBIs (87), stolen bases (17) on-base percentage (.376) and slugging percentage (.502). 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. As a sophomore, Gordon enjoyed one of the most prolific offensive seasons in school history to become the first Husker to receive unanimous first-team All-America honors since Ken Harvey in 1999. Gordon topped Nebraska in nearly every offensive category, hitting .365 with 18 homers and 75 RBIs. In the summer of 2004, he was selected to play for Team USA, the first Nebraska player to receive that honor since 1985. He hit .388 with four homers, 12 RBIs and 18 runs scored in 24 contests to help Team USA to an 18-7 overall mark. Gordon was named the top offensive player at the FISU World University Baseball Championships in Tainan, Taiwan, in 2004, leading all players with a .524 average with two homers, five RBIs and eight runs scored in eight contests. Gordon played a major role in helping NU to a Big 12 regular-season title as a freshman, hitting .319 with seven homers and 48 RBIs to earn Freshman All-America honors.

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.

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.

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 is 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 22 players selected in the top-10 rounds of the Major League Baseball FirstYear Player Draft, including third baseman Cody Asche in 2011. Of those 21 players, only six had been drafted before embarking on their Husker career, including none in the first 20 rounds. Players (from left) such as Jeff Leise, Justin Pekarek, 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 six draftees a year over the past seven seasons.
