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ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution.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. Inquiries may also be mailed to: Athletic Compliance Office, One Memorial Stadium, P.O. Box 880219, Lincoln, NE, 68588-0219.

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
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 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 the $4.75 million Alex Gordon Training Complex, an 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 280-103-1 (.730) record at Hawks Field over the past 13 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.

In addition to the other amenities, the ballpark features the Buck Beltzer Playground. Named in honor of a former Husker baseball captain and Grand Island businessman, the enclosed park includes a padded surface for safety.

Darin Erstad
#17
Head Coach • Fourth Year • 105-74 Overall Record • 47-25 Big Ten Record Darin Erstad was named the 23rd head coach of the Nebraska baseball program - and the fifth since 1947 - on June 2, 2011.
After posting a 15-9 record during the conference season, Nebraska entered the 2013 Big Ten Tournament at Target Field in Minneapolis as the No. 3 seed, where the Huskers defeated Michigan, 11-2, in the first round.
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. The Huskers have played in a conference tournament each of Erstad’s first three seasons, including runner-up finishes the past two years.
Following a second-round loss to Ohio State, the Huskers fell to the losers bracket where they knocked out Minnesota. The following day, Nebraska eliminated the Buckeyes and immediately had to play the top-seeded Indiana Hoosiers. The Huskers kept their season going with a win over the Hoosiers, as Tanner Lubach launched a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning.
The program took another step forward in 2014 when it returned to the NCAA Tournament with an at-large bid to the Stillwater Regional. Nebraska went 1-2 at the regional, with both losses coming to perennial power Cal State Fullerton. The Huskers finished second in the Big Ten during both the regular season and at the Big Ten Tournament, with a loss to Indiana in the title game for the second straight season. Nebraska fans showed their passion for baseball during the 2014 Big Ten Tournament just down the road in Omaha at TD Ameritade Park. At the championship game between the Huskers and Hoosiers, 19,965 fans passed through the gates to set a NCAA record for a conference tournament game. Not counting the College World Series, it was the second-largest crowd to watch a college baseball game in 2014, topped only on May 13 at Turner Field in Atlanta, when 21,310 fans attended a contest between Georgia and Georgia Tech. Nebraska was again one of the top offenses in the Big Ten Conference in 2014, while ranking 19th nationally in hits (623), 30th in triples (19) and 31st in batting average (.293). 50
Nebraska’s defense was also one of the best units in the country in 2014. With a new starter at first base, third base, shortstop, left field and center field, the Huskers ranked 21st in the country with a .976 fielding percentage.
The two squads returned to Target Field the following day with the Big Ten Tournament title and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line. Indiana proved too much, as the Hoosiers returned the favor with a 4-3 walk-off win in the bottom of the ninth. The Hoosiers went on to play in the College World Series. Individually, Chad Christensen developed from a shortstop to an all-conference outfielder. After playing shortstop during his first three seasons, and being a first-team all-conference pick in 2012, Christensen moved to the outfield in 2013, where he was one of three nominees for Big Ten Player of the Year. Under Erstad, who earned three Gold Gloves during his career, Christensen posted a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage in 124 chances and ranked in the top-10 nationally among outfielders with eight assists. Christensen saw his draft stock rise 10 rounds, as he was picked in the 25th round of the 2013 MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins after being picked in the 35th round of the 2012 Draft by the Miami Marlins. Along with Christensen, Kelly also earned first-team honors at second base, while Pritchard was a second-team pick. Kash Kalkowski, Rich Sanguinetti and Headley all earned third-team honors in 2013.
On the mound, Nebraska’s pitching staff put together one of its best efforts in nearly a decade in 2014. The squad posted a 3.50 ERA, the lowest since 2006 when the Huskers notched a 3.40 ERA. It was also just the second time since 2006 that the Huskers had an ERA under 4.00. Nebraska’s rotation of Christian DeLeon, Chance Sinclair and Aaron Bummer were at the top of their game in early April when the Ohio State Buckeyes paid a visit to Hawks Field. The trio each tossed a complete game in the sweep of the Buckeyes, marking the only time in DI in 2014 that a team had three players each toss a 9.0 inning complete game in the same weekend series. Individually, Sinclair was named a third-team All-American and freshman Ryan Boldt was tabbed as a freshman All-American by three publications. Sinclair, Pat Kelly and Michael Pritchard were all first-team All-Big Ten picks, while DeLeon and Blake Headley were second-team picks and Zach Hirsch was a third-team selection. Three members of the 2014 squad were picked in the MLB Draft, including Kelly (12th, Minnesota), Hirsch (19th, Milwaukee) and Bummer (19th, Chicago White Sox). It was the first time since 2010 that three Huskers were taken in the first 20 rounds of the MLB Draft. Pritchard also signed a non-drafted free agent contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. During his second year at the helm, Erstad continued to infuse his hard-nosed, blue-collar work ethic in 2013. One of the biggest improvements under Erstad has been the Huskers’ focus on defense. It was evident in 2013, as Nebraska set a school and Big Ten Conference record with .981 fielding percentage, which ranked second nationally. The Huskers committed just 44 errors in 2013, marking their lowest total going back to 1985. From 2000-12, the Huskers had averaged 71.2 errors per season. Erstad and the rest of the Nebraska coaching staff tested the Huskers with the 16th-toughest schedule in the country in 2013. The Huskers got off to a rough start at 0-7 but finished the year at 29-30, just a couple wins away from the NCAA Tournament with an RPI of 31. Nebraska also nearly won its first conference title since 2005, as it finished in a tie for second during the regular season and came within one win of bringing the Big Ten Tournament title back to Lincoln.

During Erstad’s first season in 2012, the Husker offense saw a big jump as it led the Big Ten Conference in six different, including home runs (47), RBIs (375), runs (413), total bases (916), on-base percentage (.384) and slugging percentage (.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 Christensen, Sanguinetti and 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, 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).

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.
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 2015 season. His 240 hits are tied for 13th in Major League history entering the 2015 season and were the most since Hall of Famer Wade Boggs had 240 in 1985. The only player with more hits in a season since Erstad in 2000 is Ichiro Suzuki, who produced 242 in 2001 before setting a league record in 2004 with 262 hits. 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

associate head coach • pitching coach • recruiting coordinator • fourth year Ted Silva was hired as Nebraska’s pitching coach and recruiting coordinator on June 17, 2011. Silva was promoted to associate head coah in August of 2014.
Closer Josh Roeder led the Big Ten in saves with 12 in 2014, and earned 18 saves in two seasons. Roeder enters his senior season 13 saves shy of tying Brett Jensen’s school record of 31 career saves.
Silva joined the Huskers from the West Coast, where he had spent four seasons as a pitching coach at UC Irvine and Loyola Marymount.
Silva continued to rework Nebraska’s pitching staff during his second season in 2013. With returning starter Kyle Kubat missing the first 33 games of the year with shoulder soreness, the Huskers leaned on DeLeon, a junior college transfer, as their Friday-night starter.
Silva has led Nebraska’s efforts to bring young talent to Lincoln. In the fall of 2013, Baseball America ranked Nebraska’s recruiting class No. 11 in the nation, the highest ranking for the Huskers in school history.
DeLeon produced a 7-4 record and a 3.21 ERA. The junior righty led the Huskers in innings pitched (92.2) and strikeouts (46).
The class was the first full recruiting class under Head Coach Darin Erstad, Associate Head Coach Will Bolt and Silva. On the mound, Nebraska’s pitching staff put together one of its best efforts in nearly a decade in 2014. The squad posted a 3.50 ERA, the lowest since 2006 when the Huskers notched a 3.40 ERA. It was also just the second time since 2006 that the Huskers have had an ERA under 4.00. Nebraska’s rotation of Christian DeLeon, Chance Sinclair and Aaron Bummer were at the top of their game in early April when the Ohio State Buckeyes paid a visit to Hawks Field. The trio each tossed a complete game in the sweep of the Buckeyes, marking the only time in DI in 2014 that a team had three players each toss a nine-inning complete game in the same weekend series. 52
Individually, Sinclair thrived under Silva, as the junior college transfer from Spring Hill, Kan., was tabbed as a third-team All-American and a unanimous All-Big Ten pick after posting a 9-1 record with a 2.15 ERA. DeLeon was selected as a second-team all-conference pick and Bummer was picked in the 19th round by the Chicago White Sox after being picked in the 31st round by the New York Yankees in 2011. In the bullpen, senior and third-team All-Big Ten pick Zach Hirsch was Nebraska’s top lefthanded reliever and his 1.72 ERA in 2014 ranks second in school history, trailing Bill McGuire’s school-record 1.29 ERA in 1984. The one-time starter posted 50 strikeouts in 52.1 innings of work and was drafted in the 19th round by the Milwaukee Brewers.

Kubat made a dramatic return against No. 10 Arkansas on April 16, as the sophomore threw the first 5.0 innings of a combined no-hitter, with Tyler Niederklein and Dylan Vogt finishing off the historic day. It was the fourth combined no-hitter in school history and the first no-hitter since four Huskers no-hit Peru State on March 6, 1993. It was also the first no-hitter against a Division I program since April 5, 1981, when Anthony Kelley no-hit the Oklahoma Sooners in seven innings. Kubat ended 2013 with a 5-0 record and a 1.81 ERA in eight starts. He became the 12th pitcher in school history to post a perfect record on the year with a minimum of five wins, and the first to achieve the feat since 2006 when Jensen also went 5-0. Another young lefty entered the starting rotation late in 2013, as Bummer moved out of the bullpen. Bummer started in his final seven appearances of the season, and went 5.0 or more innings in six of the seven starts, including 7.0 innings in each of his final three starts. He carried a 3.86 ERA over his first nine appearances of the year, but ended the season with a 2.50 ERA after entering the weekend rotation. 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, Kubat, then a true freshman, 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, 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 by nearly four runs per game 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).

Shawn Eichorst
director of athletics • third year • wisconsin-whitewater (1990)
Shawn Eichorst was named the University of Nebraska’s 14th Director of Athletics on Oct. 4, 2012, by Chancellor Harvey Perlman. Eichorst leads a tradition-rich athletic program of 24 varsity intercollegiate teams, 622 student-athletes and more than 300 full-time employees. Nebraska has a reputation as a worldclass academic institution and athletics program. Eichorst’s top priority is to provide all Husker student-athletes with world-class educational and athletic experiences and opportunities. On Dec. 4, 2014, Eichorst announced that he had selected Mike Riley to be the Huskers’ head football coach, and Riley was introduced at a press conference the next day. One of the most respected people in the coaching profession, Riley was a highly sought-after coach who had previously turned down interest from several top programs while at Oregon State. The Riley hire was nationally praised by prominent members of the media, the coaching fraternity, Riley’s former players and current and former Nebraska student-athletes. The overwhelmingly positive reaction to the high-profile hiring spoke not only to Riley’s reputation, but also to Eichorst’s ability to look beyond traditional measures by which coaches are judged and find an ideal cultural fit to lead the tradition-rich Nebraska football program. Eichorst secured one of the finest football minds in the world, a teacher of young men and a positive-thinking leader who will represent Nebraska Athletics in a first-class manner while reflecting the department’s core values of Integrity, Trust, Respect, Teamwork and Loyalty.
60
Eichorst has made nearly 300 public appearances describing his primary mission to lead Nebraska Athletics in providing Husker student-athletes with the resources and support they need to be successful in academics, athletics and life. Eichorst’s philosophy is to ensure that the health, safety and welfare of student-athletes is at the heart of every action taken and every decision made. He serves on the Chancellor’s Senior Administrative Team and regularly meets with campus administrators and deans. Eichorst’s monthly radio show and Connecting on Campus column promote the university’s academic and athletic successes, along with the academic and community achievements of Husker student-athletes. Eichorst was the first Director of Athletics to visit the Big Ten-based Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) at its Champaign, Ill., headquarters. The CIC is a highly successful academic-based consortium of 15 schools, including all 14 in the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska is leading the Big Ten and the CIC in several areas, including the Digital Humanities and head injury research. Under Eichorst’s watch, Nebraska extended its nation-leading total of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to 314, including seven in 2013-14. NU also increased its nation-leading total to 17 NCAA Top Ten Award winners, as Mary Weatherholt (women’s tennis) earned the honor in 2014. A total of 279 Huskers were honored at the Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet, with 123 earning their undergraduate degrees from August 2013 to May 2014. The Big Ten Conference honored 208 Husker student-athletes with Academic All-Big Ten awards in 2013-14, an increase of 20 from 2012-13. In 2013-14, Nebraska became one of only two NCAA institutions, and the first Big Ten program in history to qualify for a bowl game, or NCAA postseason play in each of the following sports: football, volleyball and women’s soccer in the fall; men’s and women’s basketball in the winter; and baseball and softball in the spring. The Huskers performed well with 15 of Nebraska’s 24 sports qualifying for bowl/NCAA postseason action. In the fall, the football team defeated Georgia in the Jan. 1 Gator Bowl; volleyball advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight; and soccer won the Big Ten regular-season title as well as the postseason tournament and defeated Southeastern Louisiana in Lincoln in the NCAA first round. The women’s basketball team won the Big Ten Conference Tournament and won an NCAA Tournament game for the second-straight year. The men’s basketball team made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 16 years, marking the third time that both the men’s and women’s programs qualified for the NCAA Basketball Tournament in the same year and the first since 1997-98. Softball tied for the Big Ten regular-season championship, then went on to win an NCAA Regional and advance to a Super Regional for the second straight year, taking eventual national runner-up Alabama to the wire. The baseball team played for the Big Ten title for the second straight year and defeated Binghamton (New York) in the NCAA Stillwater Regional.
Under Eichorst’s direction, Nebraska continues to focus on improving the game-day atmosphere at every venue, including a $12.3 million upgrade of its wireless networks in and around Memorial Stadium completed in 2014. It is the largest wireless network system installation at a college stadium in history. The upgrade includes a new sound system, IPTV system installation and smartphone applications. In the summer of 2013, Memorial Stadium expansion increased capacity while adding the innovative Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory (NAPL) inside East Stadium next to the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3). The men’s and women’s basketball teams became the primary tenants at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and the renovated Devaney Center became the home for Husker volleyball, wrestling and the men’s and women’s gymnastics programs. Another major facility project is a world-class, $20.4 million Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex, located just north of the Devaney Center and Innovation Campus. When completed in 2015, the facilities will rank among the best in the Big Ten. Eichorst came to Nebraska after serving as Director of Athletics at Miami in 2011 and 2012. During his tenure, he 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. Miami’s Hurricane Club grew to more than 5,000 nationwide. A total of $19 million in student-athlete support was generated in 2011-12, and $14.2 million in capital gifts was raised to support the Center for Athletic Excellence. Eichorst hired legendary men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga, who led Miami to the NIT second round. The women’s basketball program posted its highest national ranking in school history (No. 5) and advanced to the NCAA second round. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the fourth straight season, and the baseball team made its 40th consecutive NCAA appearance. The women’s soccer team posted the first NCAA Tournament win in history, and the volleyball team made its third straight NCAA Tournament trip. Before heading to Miami, Eichorst was the Deputy Athletics Director at Wisconsin from 2009 to 2011. He was the Chief Operating Officer and oversaw the day-to-day operations (23 intercollegiate programs, 850 student-athletes, 320 full-time employees) under Director of Athletics and former Husker Barry Alvarez. Eichorst was involved in the design and planning of a new ice hockey and swimming facility, and the Student-Athlete Performance Center at Camp Randall Stadium. At South Carolina, Eichorst oversaw daily operations of the athletics department and supervised Lou Holtz’s and Steve Spurrier’s football programs and Ray Tanner’s baseball program. The football team was bowl-eligible each season, and the baseball team competed in the 2004 College World Series. Additionally, he coordinated and supervised multi-million dollar facility projects, including a football training facility. From 1999 to 2003, Eichorst served as the Director of Athletics at Wisconsin-Whitewater, which produced four top 10 percent finishes in the NACDA Directors Cup, one NCAA team title, two NCAA runner-up finishes and five individual national champions. The program also featured 11 CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica selections, seven NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners and 74 All-Americans. A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an all-conference defensive back, three-time letterwinner and 1990 football team captain for Wisconsin-Whitewater. He graduated magna cum laude in business from UW-Whitewater in 1990 and earned a law degree from Marquette in 1995. He practiced law in Milwaukee until 1999. He is a past member of the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee and the State Bar of Wisconsin Board of Governors. He previously served as an assistant adjunct professor of law at Marquette Law School, where he taught classes in sports law. He serves on the Marquette University National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors. In 2006, Marquette awarded Eichorst the Sports Law Alumnus of the Year award. He also is a graduate of the Sports Management Institute and serves on its Executive Committee.
Eight other Husker teams competed in NCAA postseason action in 2013-14. The women’s bowling team was the NCAA runner-up; women’s rifle finished fifth in the NCAA; women’s gymnastics advanced to the NCAA Super Six; men’s gymnastics placed eighth at the national meet; wrestling finished 11th nationally; men’s track and field placed 17th indoors and 12th outdoors; and women’s track and field placed 19th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. NU coaches were honored for their efforts with Tim Miles (men’s basketball) and John Walker (women’s soccer) earning national coach-of-the-year honors. Four Husker coaches earned Big Ten Conference coach-of-the-year honors, including Miles, Walker, Rhonda Revelle (softball) and Connie Yori (women’s basketball). Nebraska’s fan support is unparalleled in college athletics. In fact, in 2013-14 with approximately 19,000 new season ticket holders across three new and expanded facilities, top 15 national rankings for average attendance were reached across six sports, including football, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball. Thanks to our loyal fans, three sports have home sellout streaks in place, including football (340 consecutive), volleyball (217 straight) and men’s basketball (16 prior to 2014-15 season). 2015 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I HUSKERS.COM

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 Instruction

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 4-1 Camps are a hands-on class for those who want to improve on hitting, catching, infield and pitching. 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 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 (402) 413-8881 or baseball@bigredacademy.com. She would be happy to discuss the requirements for hosting a summer camp in your area in the Summer of 2016.
Hitting School 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 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
Individual private lessons (Hitting/Pitching/Catching) are now available through the Nebraska Baseball Academy. Because of NCAA bylaws, these private lessons are open only to 10-year olds through individuals currently in the eighth grade. NCAA bylaws state that “prospective student-athletes” shall include any individual who has started classes for the ninth grade and are prohibited from participating in private lessons. Lessons will be 4-week sessions meeting once a week for 45 minutes.
Annual Coaches Clinic
The Nebraska Baseball Academy uses the Alex Gordon Training Complex for year-round training.

2014 Season Review Huskers Top 40 Wins and Return to NCAA Tournament Huskers Return to NCAA Tournament
For the first time since 2008, the Nebraska baseball team played in the NCAA Tournament, as the Huskers were selected to the Stillwater Regional. The Huskers, who were 41-21 in 2014, saw their season come to an end following a loss to Cal State Fullerton. Nebraska played some of the best baseball across the country over the final two months of the season heading into the tournament. The Huskers posted a 25-6 record over their final 31 games entering the tournament after starting the season 15-13. The Huskers’ 2014 tournament resume was supported by a 15-7 record against teams in the RPI top 100, including a 6-6 record against RPI top-50 teams.
Sinclair Named Third-Team All-American
After earning unanimous first-team All-Big Ten honors, Nebraska junior pitcher Chance Sinclair was named a thirdteam Louisville Slugger All-American by Collegiate Baseball.
Kelly was the first member of the 2014 team to get picked in the draft, going in the 12th round to the Twins. He was a three-time All-Big Ten performer and two-time first-team selection during his three seasons at Nebraska.
Sinclair was the first Husker to earn All-America honors since Michael Pritchard was a third-team pick by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association in 2012. Johnny Dorn was the last NU pitcher to earn All-America honors, as he was selected as a third-team honoree by the NCBWA in 2008.
Kelly led the Huskers in hits each of the past two seasons and ended his career ranked 20th in school history with 212 career hits. Defensively, Kelly posted a .990 fielding percentage in 2014, as he committed just three errors, and he left Nebraska ranked seventh in school history with 468 assists.
Following two seasons at Neosho County CC where he set multiple school records, Sinclair transferred to Nebraska and was part of NU’s weekend rotation all season in 2014. The Spring Hill, Kan., native led the Huskers with a 9-1 record, while ranking second on the team with a 2.15 ERA.
Selected in the 19th round by the White Sox, Bummer worked as a reliever during his freshman season in 2012 and started in the bullpen as a sophomore before joining NU’s weekend rotation during Big Ten play in 2013. The 6-2 lefty worked exclusively as a starter in 2014, throwing 89.0 innings over 15 starts. He led the Huskers in strikeouts with 56 in 2014, including a team-best 16 strikeouts looking.
Record Crowds Attend Big Ten Tournament at TD Ameritrade Park
During Big Ten play, Sinclair was a perfect 6-0 in eight starts with a 2.10 ERA, including a 10-strikeout performance in his final home start of the year against Illinois on May 15. It was the most strikeouts in a conference game by a Husker since Thad Weber sat down 11 against Kansas on March 18, 2008.
It set a NCAA record for a conference tournament game and was the second-largest crowd to watch a college baseball game in 2014. The largest crowd of the season came on May 13 at Turner Field in Atlanta, when 21,310 fans attended a contest between Georgia and Georgia Tech.
On the year, Sinclair went 6.0 or more innings in 12 of his 16 starts, including nine outings of at least 7.0 innings or more and a 9.0-inning complete game against Ohio State on April 5. Sinclair’s complete game against Ohio State was one of three by the Husker pitching staff that weekend, as Christian DeLeon and Aaron Bummer also tossed complete games.
Fans packed TD Ameritrade Park on Sunday, May 25 to watch the conference championship game between the Huskers and Indiana Hoosiers, with 19,965 fans passing through the gates.
Overall at the tournament, 62,020 fans came for the five-day event to destroy the previous tournament attendance record of 12,219 set at Ohio State’s Bill Davis Stadium in 2010.
Trio Goes the Distance
Nebraska’s weekend rotation of Christian DeLeon, Chance Sinclair and Aaron Bummer were workhorses in a three-game sweep of Ohio State April 4-6, as all three pitchers tossed complete games. No other staff in the country threw three nine-inning complete games in a weekend during the 2014 season. Monmouth was the only other team that came close with two nine-inning complete games and a seven-inning complete game. Appalachian State threw two 9.0-inning complete games against UNCG, but the finale was rained out.
Big Ten Honors
Eight members of the Nebraska baseball team were honored by the Big Ten Conference coaches, including Pat Kelly, Michael Pritchard and Chance Sinclair who earned first-team All-Big Ten awards. Blake Headley and Christian DeLeon were each second-team selections, while Zach Hirsch earned third-team honors. Ryan Boldt was one of 13 newcomers named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team and Ty Kildow was Nebraska’s Sportsmanship Award Winner. Four Huskers were named to the Big Ten All-Tournament Team, including Boldt, Kelly, Kyle Kubat and Aaron Bummer.
During his three years in Lincoln, Bummer posted an 11-6 record with a 3.06 ERA. He also tossed his first career complete game during the 2014 season, as he capped a series sweep of Ohio State at Hawks Field. The 2014 Draft marked the second time Bummer was selected, as he was a 31st-round pick by the New York Yankees in 2011 out of high school, but instead chose to come to Nebraska.
Boldt Earns Three Freshman All-America Honors
After working as a starter during his sophomore season in 2012, Hirsch made the move to the bullpen in 2013 and was one of the top relief arms in the country in 2014. A third-team All-Big Ten selection in 2014, Hirsch was also one of 50 relievers nationally to be named to the Midseason Stopper-ofthe-Year List. For his work in 2014, Hirsch was picked in the 19th round by Milwaukee.
A native of Red Wing, Minn., Boldt was the 12th Husker freshman since 2000 to earn freshman All-America honors and the first do so since 2012 when Pat Kelly and Kyle Kubat were both tabbed as freshman All-Americans.
Hirsch led the Huskers with a 1.72 ERA in 2014 and held opposing batters to a .193 average. The 6-4 lefty’s ERA is the second-lowest single-season ERA in school history, topped only by Bill McGuire’s 1.29 ERA in 1984. Hirsch’s 31 appearances in 2014 were the most by a Husker since Brett Jensen made 33 appearances in 2005.
Nebraska freshman outfielder Ryan Boldt earned three freshman All-America honors following the 2014 season. He earned accolades from Collegiate Baseball, Baseball America and Perfect Game
Boldt’s three freshman All-American awards were the most by a Husker since Kelly was picked by four publications, including Collegiate Baseball, Baseball America, Perfect Game and NCBWA in 2012.
Four Huskers Sign MLB Contracts
Since being drafted in the 2014 MLB First-Year Player Draft, three members of the 2014 Nebraska baseball team signed professional contracts. Senior Zach Hirsch signed with the Milwaukee Brewers, while juniors Pat Kelly (Minnesota Twins) and Aaron Bummer (Chicago White Sox) each decided to forego their senior seasons and sign with their respective teams. Michael Pritchard was the fourth player from the 2014 squad to sign a contract, as he was picked up and signed by the St. Louis Cardinals after not being drafted. The 2014 season marked the second time in Darin Erstad’s three-year tenure as head coach that the Huskers lost a pair of juniors to the draft. Following the 2012 season, both Travis Huber and Richard Stock passed on their senior seasons.
A three-time All-Big Ten performer and 2012 All-American, Pritchard ended his four-year Husker career ranked fifth in school history with 251 career hits. A career .339 hitter, Pritchard’s 45 career doubles are tied for 10th in NU history. A native of Omaha, Pritchard was selected to the 2014 NCAA Stillwater Regional All-Tournament team and was a first-team All-Big Ten pick for the second time in his career in 2014 after being a first-team selection in 2012. Pritchard earned secondteam honors in 2013. One of the most prolific hitters in Husker history, Pritchard strung together a 25-game hitting streak in 2012 to tie for the third-longest streak in school history. He added a 20-game hitting streak in 2013 to become the first player in school history with a pair of hitting streaks of over 20 games. He also put together a 57-game on base streak that spanned the final 42 games of the 2013 season to the first 15 games of the 2014 season.

A four-year starter from 1947 to 1950, Bob Cerv led NU to a pair of Big Seven titles in his Husker career. The Weston, Neb., native earned first-team All-America honors from the ABCA in 1950 after batting .444 – an average that still ranks fifth on NU single-season charts – with nine homers and 36 RBIs. He displayed tremendous power, leading the nation with an .878 slugging percentage in 1950, helping the Huskers to a Big Seven Conference title and an appearance in the NCAA playoffs.
Don Brown became the second Husker to receive first-team All-America honors from the ABCA, leading the Huskers to a 12-8 record and a second-place finish in the Big Seven Conference. A two-year letterwinner who led the Huskers in hitting both seasons, the Omaha, Neb., native batted .446 as a senior, leading NU in RBIs (19), hits (37) and total bases (58). His .446 average ties for fourth-highest in school history. For his efforts, he was a two-time team MVP.
One of the finest players in Nebraska history, Gene Stohs capped his career by earning first-team All-America honors from The Sporting News in 1972.

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. 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.

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. Johnson looked to have a shot to make the N.Y. Yankees’ roster in 2013, but instead played 133 games for the organization’s Triple-A affiliate in Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre.

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 then-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. The 2013 season was a banner year for Gordon, as not only did he earn his first invitation to the All-Star Game, but he also earned his third-straight Gold Glove, beating out Oakland’s Yoenis Cespedes and Detroit’s Andy Dirks after he led American League left fielders with 341 total chances but made only one error. He led the AL with 17 outfield assists, producing a Major League best 54 assists since 2011. Already one of just three players in Royals’ franchise history to win the award more than once, Gordon joined second baseman Frank White as the only Royals player to win three in a row. The award tied Gordon with former Husker and current Head Coach Darin Erstad for the most Gold Gloves by a Husker. Offensively in 2013, Gordon hit .265 with 27 doubles, a career-high six triples, 20 home runs and 81 RBIs. Gordon helped the Royals to an 86-76 record in 2013, their first winning season since 2003 and just their second since 1994. Gordon and the Royals took another step forward in 2014 as the team not only made the playoffs for the first time since 1985, but also made a run to the World Series where they lost in seven games to the San Francisco Giants. Individually, Gordon finised 12th in MVP voting, earned his fourth straight Gold Glove award, the most ever by a former Husker, was selected to the All-Star Game for the second straight year, earned the American League’s Platinum Glove award as the league’s top defender across all positions and was selected as the 50th winner of the Hutch Award, given anually to a player who exemplifies the honor, courage and dedication of Fred Hutchinson. One of the Royals’ top offensive threats, Gordon posted 34 doubles, one triple, 19 home runs and 74 RBIs. He also added eight outfield assists and since moving to the outfield in 2011 Gordon has produced a league-best 61 outfield assists.

Joba Chamberlain (2005-06)
2007-Present; New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers 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 recovering 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. In 2013, Chamberlain missed part of the beginning of the season with a strained oblique muscle, but returned to make 45 appearances for the Yankees. It was the second-most appearances during his career after making a combined 49 appearances during the 2010-2011 seasons. Chamberlain finished the season with a 2-1 record and one save to go with a 4.93 ERA in 42.0 innings of work. Chamberlain produced 38 strikeouts on the year. After spending seven years as a Yankee, Chamberlain moved to the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen in 2014. In 69 appearances, Chamberlain posted a 3.57 ERA with two saves while striking out 59 in 63.0 innings of work.

Brian Duensing (2002-05)
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. Duensing was a key member of the Twins’ bullpen in 2013, as he made a career-high 73 appearances. He finished the season with a 3.98 ERA, while posting a 6-2 record and earned his first career save. In his 61.0 innings of work, Duensing struck out 56, while walking 22 and gave up just four home runs. Duensing continued to be a mainstay in the Twins’ bullpen in 2014, making 62 appearances. Over 54.1 innings of work, Duensing posted a 3-3 record with a 3.31 ERA and 33 strikeouts.

2015 NEBRASKA BASEBALL I HUSKERS.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 make a 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. 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. The 2013 season was a banner year for Gordon, as he earned his first invitation to the All-Star Game and claimed his third-straight Gold Glove. He led the AL with 17 outfield assists, producing a Major League-best 54 assists since 2011. Already one of just three players in Royals’ franchise history to win the award more than once, Gordon joined second baseman Frank White as the only Royal to win three in a row. Offensively in 2013, Gordon hit .265 with 27 doubles, a career-high six triples, 20 home runs and 81 RBIs. Gordon helped the Royals to an 86-76 record in 2013, their first winning season since 2003 and just their second since 1994. Gordon and the Royals took another step forward in 2014 as the team not only made the playoffs for the first time since 1985, but also made a run to the World Series where they lost in seven games to the San Francisco Giants. Individually, Gordon finised 12th in MVP voting, earned his fourth straight Gold Glove award, the most ever by a former Husker, was selected to the All-Star Game for the second straight year, earned the American League’s Platinum Glove award as the league’s top defender across all positions and was selected as the 50th winner of the Hutch Award, given anually to a player who exemplifies the honor, courage and dedication of Fred Hutchinson. One of the Royals’ top offensive threats, Gordon posted 34 doubles, one triple, 19 home runs and 74 RBIs. He also added eight outfield assists and since moving to the outfield in 2011, Gordon has produced a league-best 61 outfield assists 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 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 nation’s premier programs for the last decade. The Huskers have qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 10 of the past 16 years including College World Series appearances in 2001, 2002 and 2005. In 2007, Baseball America ranked the country’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 99 AllAmerica certificates. Bob Cerv was the first Husker to be named an All-American in 1950, when he was a first-team selection by the American Baseball Coaches Association. Following the 2014 season, starting pitcher Chance Sinclair was named a thirdteam All-American by Collegiate Baseball. The Huskers have also enjoyed great success at the conference level, winning four Big 12 Tournament titles (1999-01, 2005) and three regular-season titles (2001, 2003, 2005). During the last two seasons, the Huskers have finished second during the Big Ten regular season and second at the Big Ten Tournament.

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’ indoor baseball/softball facility, the Alex Gordon Training Center. The facility was named after the former Husker AllAmerican and four-time Gold Glove winner following a generous $1 million donation by the Alex Gordon family. Construction of the $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.

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 25 players selected in the top-10 rounds of the Major League Baseball FirstYear Player Draft, including third baseman Cody Asche in 2011. Of those 25 players, only seven 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 academic support team is comprised of 13 full-time staff members and a tutorial staff of approximately 75 tutors addressing all subject areas. Academic Counseling Eight academic counselors and three assistant academic counselors are in place to monitor daily academic progress, receive consistent course feedback, assist with the advising/registration process and monitor continuing eligibility and progress toward graduation. Essentially, academic counselors assist student-athletes in navigating the University of Nebraska system. Tutorial Support A tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support is available from day one up to college graduation. Subject and mentor tutors help provide academic support and study strategies to be successful. Supplemental Instruction, a sub-component of the tutorial program, provides targeted group review sessions to help ease the transition to college academics while improving study strategies and building academic self-esteem. Study Hall Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s study hall program is housed in the D.J. Sokol Enrichment Center within the Dick and Peg Herman Family Student Life Complex. Student-athletes attend a supervised, flex-time study hall that features day, evening and weekend hours. Each student-athlete is required to complete a specific number of study hours each week as determined by their academic counselor and/or coach. In addition, weekly study hall reports are provided to the coaching staff. Additional performance-based or tutorbased study hall may also be determined by the academic counselor.

Mentoring Many student-athletes meet with a mentor on a weekly basis to assist in making a smooth transition from high school to college. Mentors collect syllabi, gather and report academic progress information and teach academic success strategies. Educational Assessments Assessments are administered upon the request of the student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach to determine student strengths and areas for improvement. Results allow academic counselors to develop a personalized academic support program and to determine if more in-depth testing is warranted. When additional assessments are necessary, referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts the assessments. If it is determined that a student-athlete has a learning disability, appropriate accommodations are made through the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities. Student-Athlete Orientation The academic staff coordinates New Student-Athlete Orientation to help newcomers adjust to the multiple demands of being a college student-athlete. Presentations are made by academic counselors, compliance officials, NU faculty and administrators, business/community professionals and student-athletes. Personal Counseling Student-athletes will find a supportive and caring environment at Nebraska. Transitional issues, stress management, time management, academic focus and problem resolution are all addressed in a proactive manner throughout the year. If necessary, counseling referrals are also made to designated practitioners. Computer Resources Student-athletes enjoy a new state-of-the art computer lab and technology center with 58 computers and professional supervision. Laptops are also available during team travel. Student-athletes have the benefit of ongoing education and assistance from a full-time computer technician.
