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ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution.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.

Since its opening in 2002, Hawks Field at Haymarket Park has been one of college baseball’s best ballparks. Set on 32 acres onehalf 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,
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.
INTRODUCTION they can still see the field from there. There’s also a bermed seating area around the outside of the park, so you can literally walk around the perimeter of the diamond while viewing the action, but you’re still within the confines of the stadium.” In the months leading up to the start of construction in April of 2000, former Nebraska Baseball Coach Dave Van Horn and Saltdogs President Charlie Meyer toured many of the top minor league facilities in the country, looking for ideas that could be implemented in the new ballpark. The influences of parks such as the Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City, Victory Field in Indianapolis and Franklin Covey Field in Salt Lake City, are evident throughout the structure. The exterior is a red-brick facade, while the spacious concourse level is highlighted by exposed ironwork. The playing surface is nestled in a bowl, allowing berm seating along both lines and throughout the outfield and a raised batter’s eye consisting of pine trees in center field. The features make Haymarket Park a first-class facility. The ballpark’s setting also allowed the designers to use Memorial Stadium and downtown Lincoln to provide a picturesque backdrop in the outfield. There is also a pedestrian connector that allows fans to make the walk from downtown Lincoln to the center field entrance of Haymarket Park. The park features many fan-friendly amenities, including 4,419 chair-back seats on two levels in the main seating bowl, 16 suites, a towering video board/scoreboard in right center field, the Buck Beltzer Playground for kids down the right field line and numerous restrooms and concession stands. In 2009, the facility added seating in right field, as the Husker Home Run Terrace bringing more fans
closer to the action. Hawks Field at Haymarket Park was selected as the best playing surface in each of its nine years of existence. In November of 2007, Hawks Field received another honor, as it won the Baseball Field of the Year Award in the College/University division by the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA) for the second time. The field earned its first honor in 2003 and is the only college park in the country to be a two-time winner. In the fall of 2008, the field was completely resurfaced while the underground drainage system was improved, making the field more playable during the early spring months. The ballpark is more than a playing field for the Huskers. It includes medical and laundry facilities, coaches’ offices and a 1,400 square foot locker room and adjacent clubhouse, giving the Husker program one of the best baseball setups in the country. The clubhouse was completely renovated in January of 2010, with a new entryway, remodeled player lockers, new locker chairs, electronic reclining theater seating, a team dining area, two 25-inch touchscreen monitors, a new video messaging system and a gaming area. The Huskers have enjoyed their new home, posting a 189-59-1 (.761) record at Hawks Field over the past eight 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 20 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.

INTRODUCTION
2010 Season Outlook Motivated Huskers Look to Return to NCAA Tournament
Mike Nesseth returns to anchor the Husker bullpen. The junior right-hander led Nebraska in wins (five), saves (two) and strikeouts (73) in 2009, and returns after being selected in the 15th round of the 2009 MLB Draft.
For the Nebraska baseball program, the seeds of the 2010 season were planted on May 18, 2009. After making the NCAA Tournament nine times in the last 10 years, last year’s 25-28-1 record left a bitter taste for those associated with the Husker program. For eighth-year coach Mike Anderson, it also created a hunger for 2010. “There is no question how motivated this team is entering the season,” Anderson said. “They have had a full year with a pretty bad taste in their mouth. We have had pretty high standards in this program over the last 10 years, and our players are committed to helping us return to that level.” The positive momentum began to build in the summer, as Mike Nesseth and Adam Bailey both turned down the opportunity to play professional baseball and return to Nebraska for this season. It continued in August, as the Huskers welcomed a recruiting class that was among the nation’s best and featured a trio of pitchers who had been previously selected in the top 20 rounds of the draft. “I think this is the best class we have gotten to campus since I’ve been here,” Anderson said. “Not only in the number of players brought into our program, but the quality and character of those players.” The newcomers fortified a group of 18 returning letterwinners, which is the second-highest total this decade. That group of returnees includes five of the Huskers’ top six starting pitchers, as well as eight position players who started at least 20 games a year ago. “We are going to rely on our veterans to carry the load early,” Anderson said. “It is important not only because they have experience and know what to expect, but also to help our younger players get used to the speed of competition.” Offensively, the Huskers have a solid nucleus returning in All-Big 12 first baseman Tyler Farst, as well as Bailey, Kyle Bubak and DJ Belfonte. Farst hit .333 with 36 RBIs, while Bailey batted .325 with team-bests in both homers (12) and RBIs (50). Belfonte and Bubak can both hit at the top of the lineup and have the speed to generate runs. They will also key a Husker defense that

should be strong up the middle. “Anytime you return three of the top four hitters in your lineup, it gives you a great foundation offensively,” Anderson said. “The goal for us is to find that balance where we are able to put pressure on opponents from 1-9 in the order.” While the Huskers return most of their pitching staff, player development will be paramount, as Pitching Coach Eric Newman tries to strike a balance between the veterans and a group of newcomers who see opportunities to contribute early in their Husker careers. Newman said this group has the potential to be his best staff at NU. “While we will need Mike Nesseth and Sean Yost to play a major role for us to be successful, it is equally important that players like Michael Mariot, Casey Hauptman and some of our freshmen develop,” Newman said. “If this staff pitches to its ability, we could be one of the better staffs in the league.”
“Mike was not satisfied by his team or his performance and that is a big reason he decided to return,” Newman said. “He wants to pitch in a significant role on a team that does special things. He has been one of our leaders since the end of last season. He learned a lot in the Cape Cod League over the summer and implemented those things in the fall. He could have a special season.” With Nesseth in the closer role, the Husker starters could be a mixture of returnees and newcomers. Entering the spring, the group of Sean Yost, Michael Mariot, Casey Hauptman, Jordan Roualdes, Kurt Giller and Tom Lemke are poised to give the Huskers a solid group of starters.” Sophomore Sean Yost is one pitcher who the Huskers will look to this spring. The 6-foot-6 right-hander was 2-5 on the season, but pitched well down the stretch. He was 1-1 with a 2.28 ERA in his final four Big 12 starts, including a complete-game shutout over Baylor in his final start of 2009. Yost continued his strong showing over the summer, earning Northwood League All-Star honors. “We gave Sean an opportunity to pitch and develop last year, and you could see the confidence he gained because of it,” Newman said. “He pitched well enough to keep us in games last year, and now needs to be someone who can go out and give us 6-7 innings every start.” Mariot also saw time as a starter and in the bullpen a year ago. He went 2-2 in 19 appearances, highlighted by seven innings of one-run ball against Cal State Northridge. He comes off a strong summer in Beatrice, where he went 3-3 with a 3.13 ERA and was the No. 9 prospect in the M.I.N.K. League by Baseball America. “Michael has improved tremendously over the summer and during the fall with both his velocity and command,” Newman said. “He pitched in a lot of big games for us last season, and that experience helped his growth on the mound and should pay dividends this spring.” Hauptman has the ability to fill multiple roles on the Husker staff. He worked as a starter and middle reliever last year, ranking second on the team with four wins and finishing third with 62.2 innings pitched.
Pitchers
It is a mixture of veterans and newcomers on the Husker pitching staff, as Newman begins his third season as pitching coach. The Huskers not only return nine pitchers who combined for nearly 80 percent of NU’s innings, starts and wins last season, but welcome 12 pitchers into the fold. In all, five of the Huskers’ top six pitchers are back, as they combined for 41 of the Huskers’ 54 starts in 2009. “One of the strengths will be the depth and talent of our staff,” Newman said. “I was really encouraged with what we did in the fall. We were consistently around the strike zone and working at a good pace on the mound. “The other thing I saw was the commitment that our older players had of bringing our newcomers along and helping them develop during the fall.” One of the veterans with an important role is junior Mike Nesseth. The hard-throwing right-hander went 5-4 with a pair of saves in 20 appearances, leading NU in wins, saves and strikeouts in 2009. A 15th-round pick of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Nesseth elected to return to NU for his junior year and will anchor the Husker bullpen.
Sean Yost emerged as a Big 12 starter in 2009, earning a spot in the Huskers’ weekend rotation.
INTRODUCTION
Tyler Farst earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors after hitting .384 in league action. In Big 12 play, he finished among the league leaders in batting average (fourth), hits (38, fifth) and on-base percentage (.442, sixth).
“The first thing you notice about Casey is his physical development from last year at this time,” Newman said. “He has gotten a lot stronger and that has helped his velocity and his durability. If he pitches like he did in the fall, he will be one of the guys we will look to on weekends.” Roualdes is the other veteran starter back this season, as he went 4-4 in 12 appearances. He led NU with 11 starts, tied for second on the team in wins and ranked fourth with 59.2 innings a year ago. The only left-hander in the group, he may be slowed early after undergoing minor knee surgery and could work as a starter or in the bullpen. “Jordan will play an important role for us, whether as a starter or a reliever,” Newman said. “He is a great change of pace from the other arms on our staff, and is able to create a lot of ground balls with his pitches. He has made a lot of improvement over last year and our goal is to get him healthy.” Lemke and Giller highlight a talented group of newcomers who will play a key role in NU’s success. A 10th-round draft pick by the Texas Rangers, Lemke was a first-team all-state performer in Arizona last season after going 5-2 with 87 strikeouts. He was a four-year starter who went 25-9 with a 2.01 ERA, striking out 333 in 193.2 career innings. Giller was a 21st-round draft pick by the Toronto Blue Jays after putting together a dominant high school season in Kansas. He went 5-2 with a 1.52 ERA, fanning 83 and allowing just 24 hits over 41.1 innings to earn Louisville Slugger All-America honors. “Tom and Kurt have the stuff to pitch on weekends for us this season,” Newman said. “Our goal is to find roles where they can develop throughout the season.” While the two freshmen will be looked to bolster the rotation, junior college transfers Chase Adams, Ryan Hughes and Khris Tate join junior Matt Freeman and sophomore Nate Kerkhoff to form the nucleus of the bullpen. Adams comes of NU after helping Howard College to a 63-1 record and a national title last spring. He went 4-0 with a 3.10 ERA in 2009, fanning 33 over 29 innings. Hughes is a wild card with a lot of potential, as he threw just 26 innings in junior college. At 6-7, 245-pounds, the left-hander was a 13th-round selection in the 2008 MLB Draft by Arizona. Tate, who began his collegiate career as a shortstop, spent the last two seasons at Weatherford College, going 4-3 while fanning 41 over 52.1 innings last season. Freeman made 14 appearances in the bullpen last year before undergoing season-ending surgery in April. A former state player of the year, the right-hander may have been the most
improved pitcher on the staff in the fall and will help in middle and short relief. Kerkhoff was one of four freshmen who saw time on the mound a year ago. A crafty left-hander, he went 1-0 in 16 outings and fanned 14 over 18 innings of work. He will likely work in the same role this season. Giller and Lemke headline a group of nine freshmen pitchers, all of whom could find their way into the mix. The class includes a trio of in-state standouts in Tyler Neiderklein, Dylan Vogt and Chris Williams, while Luke Bublitz, Nick Dolsky, Ryan Hander and Zach Hirsch are all out-of-state products who bring impressive credentials to the program. Bublitz was a one of the top prospects in Colorado, compiling a 9-3 record with 121 strikeouts during his prep career despite missing all of 2009 with an injury. Dolsky was rated as the top high school senior in Minnesota by Baseball America last season, but was limited to 11.1 innings because of an injury. Both players are healthy and participated in fall drills. Hander was the third Husker recruit who was drafted last spring, as he was a 39th-round selection by the Los Angeles Dodgers. He posted a 3.10 ERA and averaged nearly two strikeouts per inning as a senior. Hirsch was an all-state performer in Illinois, going 5-2 with a 1.15 ERA last season. He allowed just 39 hits in 55 innings and totaled 66 strikeouts, but underwent season-ending elbow surgery prior to the season and will redshirt in 2010. Neiderklein has been one of the state’s top pitchers for the past two years at Millard West High School, helping the Wildcats to a pair of state tournament appearances. He was 5-2 with a 2.35 ERA in 2009, recording 53 strikeouts in just 51 innings of work. Vogt comes to NU after earning all-state honors at Millard South High School. He compiled a 6-3 mark with a 1.97 ERA on the mound, as he was also one of the best infielders in the state. Williams was a first-team all-state performer as a senior, going 9-1 with a 1.63 ERA. The right-hander led Omaha Westside to a state title, going 2-0 with a pair of complete games in the state tournament. One pitcher the Huskers will be without this season is sophomore Kash Kalkowski, who went 1-2 in 19 games last season. He underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in September and will look to be ready for the 2011 campaign.
Catcher
One area of strength for the Huskers will be behind the plate, as Nebraska returns sophomore Cory Burleson and adds junior
college All-American Patric Tolentino to the lineup. “I feel that our catching situation is as good as it has been in a few years,” Anderson said. “Both bring a lot to the table with leadership and the way they handle a pitching staff. They are neck and neck entering the start of practice and we will probably go with the one who is hot at the time.” Burleson split time behind the plate last season, hitting .275 with eight RBIs in 24 starts. His 24 starts were the most by a Husker freshman catcher in nearly two decades, and he totaled eight multi-hit games, including a four-hit day against Sam Houston State. He came back in the fall as one of NU’s most improved players and is fully healthy after arm surgery as a high school senior. “I think Cory gained a lot of confidence last year,” Anderson said. “His arm strength is much better, and he is a good defensive catcher. Offensively, he worked on his plate discipline and may have been our most improved player from the end of last season.” Tolentino comes in with impressive credentials in the junior college ranks, spending two seasons at Redwoods CC. He was a second-team All-American last year, hitting .435 with 11 homers and 63 RBIs. He comes from baseball bloodlines, as his father, Jose, played in the Majors Leagues and was a starter on Texas’ 1983 CWS team. “I’m excited about Patric’s potential,” Anderson said. “Offensively, he is very smart player who can drive in runs and showed power to the gaps. Defensively, he quickly earned the respect of his teammates with his work ethic and leadership.”
First Base
Arguably, the Huskers’ deepest position is first base, as Nebraska returns All-Big 12 performer Tyler Farst and backup Cade Thompson. In addition, freshmen Josh Scheffert and Kurt Farmer may also earn playing time at the spot. “With Tyler and Cade back, it gives us a lot of options at the position,” Anderson said. Farst put together a solid campaign, posting a team-high .333 batting average with three homers and 36 RBIs. He topped NU in five categories, including hits, runs scored and doubles, while totaling 19 multi-hit games. He was even better in Big 12 action, hitting .384, as he finished among the league leaders in batting average (fourth), hits (38, fifth) and on-base percentage (.442, sixth). “The biggest thing for Tyler is he got stronger in the offseason and showed the ability to hit for more power in the fall,” Anderson said. “He brings a proven bat to the lineup and is someone we think can be a significant run producer for us.” Thompson played a reserve role in his first year at NU, hitting .217 with a homer in 26 games. He was primarily used as a pinch hitter, leading the Huskers with three pinch hits, while providing a strong defensive presence. Thompson also worked in the outfield during the fall in hopes of earning more playing time. “We saw the strides Cade made after having a year in our program,” Anderson said. “The game started to slow down for him, and he also added 20 pounds which has helped with his bat speed. I think he is going to surprise some people this year.” Scheffert and Farmer are a pair of infielders who could see spot duty at the position, as both Farst and Thompson are seniors. Both players could push for significant time at other spots on the field.
Middle Infield
While Nebraska looks to replace both of its starting middle infielders from last year, the Huskers have some experience with the return of Kale Kiser and Kyle Bubak, both of whom saw a lot of playing time in 2009. Freshmen Kurt Farmer and Bryan Peters both bring impressive credentials into the program and could factor into the picture. Kiser backed up MLB Draftee Jeff Tezak at second in 2009, hitting .208 with a pair of homers and nine RBIs in 26 games. A former all-state performer in Texas, he is more noted for
15│2010 NEBRASKA BASEBALL
INTRODUCTION his offensive production, but has worked hard to make strides defensively. With a year under his belt, the switch-hitting Kiser is ready to become a full-time performer this spring. “Kale is much improved defensively over last year and gives us someone who can switch hit with some power from the left side,” Anderson said. “He also has a very good feel and understanding of the game.” Bubak is the most experienced of the Huskers’ middle infielders, starting 37 games last season between both spots. He was the Huskers’ leadoff hitter for a good portion of the year, batting .275 with 35 runs scored. His calling card was his defense, as he fielded at a .975 clip in league play, and will be counted on for his leadership this season. “Kyle is very steady for us, as he will make all of the routine plays and has the ability to make the spectacular play,” Anderson said. “He gives us a lot of versatility, as he is a switch hitter who can effectively play either middle infield spot.” Farmer was one of the best infielders in the state, earning all-state honors in each of the past two years. The Columbus, Neb., product led the state with a .568 batting average and 44 RBIs in 2009. He possesses excellent size and strength and how he handles the shift from high school shortstop to second base in the college ranks will determine his impact. Peters was one of the top players in the region, leading Rocky Mountain (Colo.) High School to three consecutive state titles in baseball. He was the Gatorade Player of the Year in baseball in 2009, hitting .398 with nine homers and 27 RBIs while also going 7-0 on the mound. He had a strong fall, but suffered an orbital bone fracture in the days before practice started. His recovery will determine his contributions for the upcoming season.
Third Base
One of the luxuries the Huskers have enjoyed is stability at the hot corner, and the emergence of Cody Asche last year paved the way for a smooth transition from four-year performer Jake Mort. Asche will be challenged by freshman Josh Scheffert, as the position may feature two of the Huskers’ best young hitters. “Coming into the fall, I thought this would be a dogfight to see which one would play,” Anderson said. “Cody has really been impressive both offensively and defensively, and Josh is someone whose bat could be difficult to keep out of the lineup.” Asche enjoyed a solid rookie campaign, hitting .290 with a homer and 21 RBIs while playing in 43 contests. The freshman totaled eight multi-hit games, and proved to be a clutch hitter,
batting over .300 with 13 of his 21 RBIs coming in two-out situations. He saw time at both third base and DH last year, but will enter the spring as the front runner at third. “Cody is one of the most improved defensive players we have had in recent years, and his work ethic is off the charts,” Anderson said. “Offensively, he carries himself with a quiet confidence at the plate. We think he is someone who we can put in the middle of the lineup and let him put together a strong season.” Scheffert was one of the state’s premier players at Lincoln Southeast, the same alma mater as Major Leaguer Alex Gordon. Scheffert was co-captain of the all-state team in 2009, hitting .416 with 32 RBIs while also drawing 17 intentional walks. He also pitched at Southeast, going 6-2 with a 0.96 ERA as a senior. “Josh brings a lot to the table,” Anderson said. “He has a lot of power potential, even as a freshman, and has great work habits. We thought he had a great fall and his bat is so valuable that we think he can play both corner infield spots or even the outfield just to find ways to get him in the lineup.”
Outfield
Nebraska has plenty of options in the outfield, as the Huskers return four of their top five outfielders from a year ago, including starters DJ Belfonte and Adam Bailey. NU also welcomes back sophomores Boomer Collins and Khiry Cooper, and adds a pair of talented freshmen in Chad Christensen and Pat Hirschberg. “We have a good combination of youth and experience among our outfielders,” Anderson said. “DJ and Adam give us two veteran players who can hit near the top of the lineup, and Boomer and Khiry are a lot better with a year of experience under their belts. We have some options in the outfield, which has not always been the case.” Bailey will be one of the cornerstones in the Husker lineup. Last season, the junior college transfer hit .325 with 12 homers and 50 RBIs, leading the Huskers in homers, RBIs and slugging percentage (.598). Bailey totaled 17 multi-hit games and hit a team-best .395 with runners in scoring position in 2009. He was drafted in the 38th round last year, but elected to return to NU for his senior year. “There is a reason that Adam came back for this year,” Anderson said. “Adam wants to help this club make it to the postseason, and he wants to play a major role in our success. He showed the ability to drive in runs last year and understands what it takes to be an elite hitter at this level. We hope we can put him third in the lineup and let him go.” Belfonte is the veteran of the Husker roster, as he is a three-
Outfielder DJ Belfonte started 157 games entering his senior season. Last season, the three-year starter led the Huskers in both stolen bases and triples.
16│2010 NEBRASKA BASEBALL
Cody Asche will contend for a starting spot at third base. Last year, he hit .290 with 21 RBIs in his first season as a Husker.
year starter in the outfield. The speedster is on pace to become just the second Husker to lead Nebraska in stolen bases for three straight years. Last year, he hit .256 with a pair of homers, 26 RBIs and 34 runs scored, pacing the Huskers in stolen bases (nine) and triples (three). He is also the Huskers’ best defensive outfielder who has great range and an outstanding throwing arm. “I firmly believe that DJ is going to have an outstanding season,” Anderson said. “He has worked harder this offseason than any other year and realizes that he can put together a special senior year. He is a catalyst and does so many things which sometimes go unappreciated.” Collins gained plenty of experience as a freshman in 2009, hitting .245 with a homer and 11 RBIs in 40 contests, as he split time in left field. He totaled five multi-hit games, including a trio of three-hit contests despite being slowed by a thumb injury that sidelined him for three weeks. Now fully healthy, Collins hit the ball with authority in the fall and is poised for a big campaign. “I don’t think fans have seen the real Boomer Collins yet,” Anderson said. “Before his injury, he was one of our best hitters and never really got untracked after coming back. He’s fully healthy and really swung the bat well in the fall. I am looking for big things from him this season.” Cooper is the wildcard among the Husker returnees, as he rejoined the team following the Holiday Bowl. He played in 35 games as the Huskers’ fourth outfielder as a freshman, hitting .239 with two homers and nine RBIs. A fifth-round draft pick out of high school, Cooper has shown flashes of his talent in both sports. “The biggest difference in Khiry this year is that he wants to be great and knows what it takes to succeed,” Anderson said. “Last year, it was tough at times trying to balance both sports, but with a year under his belt, we are seeing a lot of progress.” Christensen comes to Nebraska with impressive credentials, belting 42 homers and driving in 163 runs during his prep career. He was a first-team all-state performer in Iowa, hitting .524 with 16 homers and 49 RBIs as a senior. He was an infielder in high school, but has the athleticism to play a number of spots on the diamond. Hirschberg was one of the top players in the state of Colorado, earning all-state honors after hitting .446 with eight homers and 29 RBIs in just 19 games. He has the potential to be a starter during his college career.

Mike Anderson

Head Coach • Eighth Year • Northern Colorado (1990) • 280-144-2 Career Record For all the heights the Nebraska baseball program has reached in the last seven years, there has been one guiding principle which has kept the Huskers grounded amid its success under Mike Anderson. That is a belief that student-athletes are his top priority, and it has been something that Anderson has been mindful of since becoming Nebraska’s 23rd baseball coach on June 21, 2002. When Anderson, who had served as an assistant in the Husker program for eight seasons, stepped to the microphone for the first time as head coach, he made it clear that his student-athletes were his top priority. “This is about kids,” Anderson said. “This is about the commitment to young men getting their education at the University of Nebraska, getting their education on the baseball field, and obviously winning baseball games.” Anderson has lived up to that ideal, guiding the Husker program to a 280-144-2 record, two Big 12 titles (2003 and 2005) and the school’s third College World Series appearance since 2001 (2005). The Huskers have reached NCAA Regional play in five of the past seven seasons, including three regional title games (2003, 2005, 2007) and have won 40-or-more games four times in that stretch, including a school-record 57 games in 2005. Anderson is among the top-25 active Division I coaches with a career .660 winning percentage. Although the 2009 Huskers missed the NCAA Tournament for the second time in 10 years, the season allowed many of Nebraska’s younger players to develop. The Huskers played nine freshmen against a league that saw seven teams reach the NCAA Tournament. First baseman Tyler Farst earned All-Big 12 honors while 10 players were named Academic All-Big 12 - equaling the most in a single-season in program history. The Huskers battled on the field, posting 15 comefrom-behind victories on the season. In 2008, the Huskers turned what many thought was a rebuilding year into another successful campaign. Behind first-team All-Big 12 performers Johnny Dorn, Jake Opitz and Mitch Abeita, Nebraska went 41-16-1 and was ranked as high as fifth in the country before receiving a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in six years. The Huskers showed resiliency, recording 21 come-from-behind wins during the year and were in contention for a Big 12 title until the final weekend of the regular season. The 2007 Huskers overcame a slow start to play their best baseball down the stretch, reaching the title game of the NCAA Tempe Regional. Nebraska won five of their final six conference series, including series wins over Super Regional qualifier Oklahoma State and nationally ranked Oklahoma. The 2006 season saw its share of success, as Nebraska compiled a 42-17 record, reached the Big 12 Championship game and was the No. 6 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. Three Husker players - Luke Gorsett, Tony Watson and Ryan Wehrle - garnered All-America honors, while Brandon Buckman garnered first-team ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America honors.
Mike Anderson has led Nebraska to a pair of Big 12 regular-season titles and a College World Series appearance in his seven seasons as head coach.
44│2010 NEBRASKA BASEBALL
Nebraska has averaged 40 wins per season in Anderson’s seven years at Nebraska. He ranks among the most successful coaches in the country in terms of winning percentage.
Anderson piloted the Huskers to their most successful season in school history in 2005. NU compiled a 57-15 record and advanced to the College World Series for the third time in a five-year span. The Huskers won their first-ever CWS game, while the 57 wins led the nation and shattered the school mark of 51 set in 2001. Anderson was selected as the Big 12 Coach of the Year for a second time after guiding NU to both the regular-season and tournament titles. The Huskers had three All-Americans, led by consensus national player of the year Alex Gordon, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 MLB Draft, along with Joba Chamberlain and Johnny Dorn. Gordon led a contingent of 11 players who brought home All-Big 12 accolades in 2005, including four first-team selections. In 2004, the Huskers narrowly missed making the NCAA Tournament, ending the year with a 36-23 record, but still enjoyed numerous highlights. The Huskers posted four wins over top-10 teams, including a pair of victories over No. 1 Texas. Gordon was a first-team All-American and was chosen as the Big 12’s Player of the Year while becoming the first Husker since 1985 to be selected for the U.S. National Team. Anderson made an immediate impression, guiding Nebraska to a 47-18 record in 2003. The Huskers won the Big 12 regular-season title with a 20-7 mark while Anderson became the second first-year Husker coach to lead NU to a conference title and the first since 1929. For his efforts, he was tabbed by his peers as the Big 12 Coach of the Year. Anderson was joined by first baseman Matt Hopper and pitcher Aaron Marsden in sweeping the Big 12’s major awards, as they were chosen as Player and Pitcher of the Year, respectively. The duo was joined by designated hitter Curtis Ledbetter and pitcher Quinton Robertson as first-team All-Big 12 selections. The Huskers also enjoyed success in the classroom, as Jeff Leise and Aaron Marsden were named CoSIDA FirstTeam Academic All-Americans, while Leise repeated as the Academic All-American of the Year. Commitment to student-athletes and commitment to teaching – these have been the hallmarks throughout Anderson’s coaching tenure at NU since he joined the Husker baseball coaching staff in the fall of 1994. Since joining the Nebraska staff, Anderson has coached a total of 25 first-team all-conference honorees, while 48 of his players have signed pro contracts. Anderson has seen 11 of his players reach the Major Leagues, including Gordon (Kansas City) and Chamberlain (New York Yankees) in 2007 and Brian Duensing in 2009. Anderson’s most famous pupil is Houston Astros outfielder Darin Erstad, who earned first-team All-America honors in 1995, when he was the first overall selection in the 1995 MLB Draft. Erstad, a three-time Gold Glove winner, also appeared in the 2000 and 2002 All-Star Games. Anderson also helped Ken Harvey develop into the nation’s best hitter in 1999. Harvey led Division I with a .478 average, while belting 23 homers en route to first-team All-America honors. Harvey represented the Kansas City Royals in the 2004 All-Star Game. Other former Huskers coached by Anderson who have reached the Major Leagues include Todd Sears, Jamal Strong, Dan Johnson, Adam Shabala, Adam Stern and Drew Anderson. Eight Huskers have been tabbed first-team All-Americans under Anderson’s tutelage, while five players – Erstad (1995), Harvey (1999), Dan Johnson (2001), Jed Morris (2002) and Gordon (2004-05) – have been finalists for various national player-of-the-year awards. Gordon became Nebraska’s first major award winner in 2005, taking home the Dick Howser Trophy, the USA
COACHES/STAFF
Anderson guided Nebraska to Big 12 titles in 2003 and 2005 and is a two-time Big 12 Coach of the Year.
Baseball Golden Spikes and the Brooks Wallace Awards, while also being recognized as Baseball America’s College Player of the Year. A trio of Huskers were selected in the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft, marking the ninth consecutive year that at least three NU players were chosen. Of those three, Mike Nesseth and Adam Bailey decided to return to Nebraska for the 2010 season. Before he was named head coach following the 2002 season, Anderson enjoyed a successful tenure as the Huskers’ hitting coach, as NU led the Big 12 in hitting in each of his final four seasons. In 2002, the Huskers led the Big 12 in seven offensive categories, including batting average, hits and runs scored. Individually, Morris and Leise were both first-team All-Americans, as Morris led the Big 12 in both homers (23) and RBIs (90), while Leise ranked among the conference leaders in nine offensive categories. In 2001, Anderson coached a Husker offense that ranked in the top 10 nationally in both team average and runs per game. NU led the Big 12 in 11 offensive categories, including batting average, runs scored, homers and stolen bases, while Anderson coached a trio of first-team All-Americans in outfielder John Cole, designated hitter Matt Hopper and first baseman Dan Johnson, a finalist for the Dick Howser Trophy that year. As the outfielders coach, Anderson coached three All-Americans and seven all-conference selections, including Leise, who was a first-team All-American in 2002, while leading the Huskers to their second straight CWS appearance. Anderson’s commitment to his student-athletes also extends to the classroom. Over the past 15 years, the Huskers have placed 73 players on the first-team all-conference squad. Nebraska has had 10 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans and 20 first-team academic all-district selections. Before arriving in Lincoln in the fall of 1994, Anderson was the top assistant coach at the University of Northern Colorado. He joined the Bears’ staff after four years as a head coach with the Northern Colorado Lab School. Along with his collegiate coaching experience, Anderson has worked as a camp instructor for Greg Riddoch’s Major League Baseball School and Tom Runnells’ Pro Clinics. Both Riddoch and Runnells managed in the Major Leagues. Anderson also spent two years as a scout for the Toronto Blue Jays. From 1983 through 1986, Anderson was an outfielder at Northern Colorado for College Hall of Fame Coach Tom Petroff. Anderson was an eighth-round pick by the California Angels before spending four seasons in professional baseball. Anderson earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Northern Colorado in 1990. Anderson graduated from Eaton High School in Eaton, Colo., where he was a first-team All-Colorado shortstop for Coach Jim Danley. He and his wife Kim have four children: Kaleigh, Taylor, Madison and Andie.

COACHES/STAFF
A Chat with Mike Anderson Coach Anderson Talks about the Husker Baseball Program What is your coaching philosophy?
There are a lot of parts that go into a coaching philosophy. In terms of the program, I love the hitting aspect, but understand that pitching and defense wins championships. It is important for our staff to create a great environment for our pitching and defense, while at the same time, continuing to develop the best hitters we can. Our philosophy is to recruit student-athletes with great academic credentials and talent. We always say that our success is based on not only recruiting great talent, but also developing that talent when players come to Nebraska. We take a lot of pride in the development of our studentathletes. We believe in teaching, both on and off the field, to give them the best chance of being successful in whatever they choose, whether it is professional baseball or in the business world.
What is your program’s recruiting philosophy?
We have a three-tiered approach to recruiting. First, we want to look for players throughout the state – and that always is our primary focus – then we look to the Midwest and then nationally. We feel the talent level in this state is very good, and if you look at the makeup of our roster, we have tried to make recruiting quality players from this state a priority. For kids around the state and the Midwest, there is something special about playing baseball for the University of Nebraska.
What do you look for in potential student-athletes?
We look for players who meet our needs, both talent-wise and academically. It is two fold. You can’t be one or the other. We’ve been successful over the years because we recruited players who not only have talent, but also have the willingness to work hard and develop in our program. There are a lot of kids who feel as though they have reached their potential, but we want our players to come in with the expectation that if they come to Nebraska, they will continue to develop, both as players and as people.
What are your objectives for the Nebraska baseball program?
Our whole objective is to create the best possible environment for developing our studentathletes and putting them in a position to be successful following their time at Nebraska. On the field, our main goal is to annually contend for the Big 12 title, as well as put ourselves in contention for the NCAA Tournament and the College World Series. To have an opportunity to be successful in the postseason, you need to do well in the conference, so that is an emphasis of ours. The Big 12 is annually one of the best, if not the best baseball conference in the country, so if we are in contention for the league title, then we should have an opportunity to be successful in the postseason. We would like to contend for a national title, and that is a goal that every program, no matter what level, strives for. To do that, you need a purpose. Our purpose is to learn to play the game with a passion. We call it the Nebraska Way, which is striving to be better each day and having the ability to take a day-by-day approach. In the conference, it’s not going to take luck – it takes hard work and going out and giving your complete effort every time we take the field.
When recruiting a potential student-athlete, what are NU’s selling points? I think Nebraska offers a lot to student-athletes. The first thing we tell players is that if they come to Nebraska, they will have the opportunity to work with the best support staff in the country. From our academic coordinators to our strength staff to medicine and nutrition, all of
Football Coach Bo Pelini and Mike Anderson share a laugh prior to Nebraska’s game against Creighton during the 2008 campaign.

For three years, Anderson has coordinated Baseball 101, a day of instruction and clinics to raise money for a local learning center in Lincoln.
these aspects are included to help each person reach their potential and give them the best chance for success. Another major selling point is the Nebraska education, and that is a special thing in this region of the country. Once you graduate from the University of Nebraska, there are doors that open up to you, and that creates a great environment to succeed professionally. Some of the other things that make Nebraska such a strong sell is the chance to play in an outstanding facility in front of some of the most supportive fans in college baseball and the chance to work with a coaching staff that not only knows about winning, but also cares about each individual. That helps us foster a great team environment. Our players have an opportunity to play in front of fans who are supportive unlike any other program in the country.
How impressive is Nebraska’s academic support system?
We put a strong emphasis on academics. We believe if you are good in the classroom and in the community, you will put yourself in a position to succeed on the field, and we try to make that a priority for our players. One of the main reasons that we have been so successful is because of the discipline of the players in our program, and that carries over to other parts outside of baseball. With all the time demands that baseball has during the season, we get a lot of support from Dennis Leblanc, Katie Jewell and the rest of the people who work in our academic program.
How important is Nebraska’s home-field advantage of Hawks Field?
The thing we have learned over the past seven years is that, while the facility is great, the fans are even better. The fans that fill this place are what make it a special environment, and that is something that carried over from when we played at Buck Beltzer Field. Hawks Field at Haymarket Park is a marvelous facility to play in and recruit to because it is one of, if not the finest college baseball stadium in the country. It also gives our fans a great environment to watch baseball because it is such an intimate setting and they are close to the action. Playing here is a win-win for our program and our fans.

Dave Bingham
#42
Assistant Coach/Defensive Coordinator • Fifth Year • Emporia State (1972) Dave Bingham is in his fifth year on the Nebraska staff and possesses a wealth of coaching knowledge that spans more than three decades. At Nebraska, he serves as the Huskers’ defensive coordinator, overseeing team defense and working with the Husker infielders. In addition, Bingham handles opponent scouting and serves as the program’s recruiting coordinator. Bingham, who joined the Husker coaching staff in August of 2005, has been a coach in the collegiate ranks for 27 seasons, including successful head coaching stints at Emporia State (197487) and Kansas (1988-95). In addition to his vast coaching experience, which includes eight tours with various USA Baseball programs, Bingham ran the Dave Bingham Baseball Academy, one of the top instructional schools in the Midwest, for a decade before joining the Huskers. For his accomplishments, he was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame in January of 2009. In his two years as Nebraska’s defensive coordinator, the Huskers have posted team fielding percentages of .970 or better. In addition, two of his infield pupils have been selected in the MLB Draft. All-Big 12 performer Jeff Tezak was selected in the 24th round in 2009 by the Chicago White Sox while first-team All-Big 12 second baseman Jake Opitz was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 12th round of the 2008 MLB Draft. In addition, Jake Mort finished his career with a .953 fielding percentage, the best ever by a Husker third baseman. During his two seasons as pitching coach, Bingham showed the ability to develop talent, as 10 of his pitchers were drafted, including a school-record seven selections in 2007. Of the 10 pitchers drafted in Bingham’s tenure, only three had been drafted as pitchers prior to joining the Husker program, and all 10 significantly improved their draft stock under Bingham. The 2007 season marked the first time in school history that three Husker pitchers - Drew Bowman (fifth), Matt Foust (sixth) and All-American Tony Watson (ninth) - had been plucked in the first 10 rounds. In his first season as NU’s pitching coach, he guided the Huskers to a 3.40 ERA, which ranked second in the Big 12 and 13th nationally, while three pitchers - Watson, Johnny Dorn and Brett Jensen - earned All-Big 12 accolades. Bingham played a key role in the development of first-round draft pick Joba Chamberlain, who reached the Major Leagues in his first professional season. Player development is a trademark under Bingham, who was the head coach for eight years at Kansas from 1988 to 1995 and 14 years at Emporia State from 1974 to 1987, compiling a career record of 807-495-2 in that span. He built a successful program at Kansas in his eight years at the school, becoming one of the Jayhawks’ all-time winningest coaches with a 249-225 record. Bingham led Kansas to its first two NCAA Regional appearances in program history, culminating with the school’s first College World Series appearance in 1993. That team finished with a 45-18 record, setting a school record for wins and earning a top-10 ranking. For his efforts, he was named Big Eight and ABCA Midwest Region Coach of the Year. The following season, he brought KU back to the NCAA Tournament with another 40-win season and finished the year ranked in the top 25. Bingham had six players combine for seven All-America certificates at Kansas, while 20 players were drafted or signed professional contracts during that time, a fact made more impressive since only two of those players were drafted prior to coming to Kansas. Prior to his arrival at Kansas, Bingham spent 14 seasons at Emporia State, where he posted a 588-270-2 record (.673). During his tenure at ESU, Bingham built the Hornet baseball program into one of the best in the NAIA ranks. His teams won 11 district titles, five regional crowns and eight conference championships. He led ESU to five NAIA World Series appearances and won the national championship in 1978. Bingham was selected NAIA District X Coach of the Year 10 times, NAIA Area III Coach of the Year six times, and was recognized as the national coach of the year in 1976, 1984 and 1986. A total of 20 of his former players advanced into the professional ranks. Bingham’s success throughout the years has afforded him numerous opportunities on the national and international level. He served as an assistant coach on the U.S. Olympic team that won a silver medal in 1984 and a gold medal in 1988. In 1984, he served as the head coach of the bronze medal-winning U.S. team at the World Championships. Overall, Bingham has coached on eight international squads that have won three gold medals, two silver medals and one bronze medal. Bingham, 61, played his college ball at Arizona and Emporia State before embarking on a brief professional career in the Washington Senators organization in the early 1970s. Bingham earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1972 and his master’s degree in 1973 at Emporia State. Bingham, and his wife, Janet, have two grown children, Brianna and Brandon, who played his collegiate baseball at New Mexico, and three grandchildren.

Eric Newman
#29
Assistant Coach/Pitching Coach • Third Year • Texas Tech (1997) Eric Newman is in his third season as Nebraska’s pitching coach after joining the staff on July 2, 2007. Newman came to Nebraska after five years at Dallas Baptist, serving the last three seasons as head coach of the Patriots program. Newman made an immediate impact in his first season at Nebraska in 2008, as the Husker pitchers played a major role in advancing to an NCAA Regional for the ninth time in 10 years. He took a staff that had just 14 returning wins and guided the Huskers to 41 wins and a No. 1 regional seed. On the season, NU led the Big 12 in complete games (seven) and ranked among league leaders in saves (17, second), strikeouts (491, third) and ERA (4.18, third). The 491 strikeouts by the NU hurlers were the most since 2005, while the 8.46 strikeouts per game established a school mark. The staff was led by two-time All-American Johnny Dorn as well as Big 12 selections Thad Weber and Dan Jennings, while five Huskers were selected in the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft, including third-round pick Aaron Pribanic (Seattle) and Jennings, who was taken by the Florida Marlins in the ninth round. Dorn (15th, Florida), Weber (16th, Detroit) and Zach Herr (38th, San Diego) rounded out the draftees, as only Weber had been selected previously in the MLB Draft. In 2009, the Huskers underwent growing pains after 11 pitchers were selected in the previous two MLB Drafts. The Huskers set the stage for future success by breaking in an entirely new Big 12 rotation, led by redshirt freshman Sean Yost and 15th-round pick Mike Nesseth, who returned to Nebraska for the upcoming season. Newman came to Nebraska after serving as head coach at Dallas Baptist University for three seasons. He guided the school to a 95-72 record, while guiding the program through its transition to the Division I ranks. In his final season at DBU, Newman’s team finished with a 30-26 mark, including wins over College World Series qualifier Mississippi State and regional qualifiers St. John’s and Fresno State. Eight players were selected to the All-Independent team, while three players were drafted and another signed as a free agent prior to the 2007 draft. Austin Knight earned Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-America honors, while right-hander Victor Black earned one of 36 invites to Team USA’s tryout camp in June of 2007 and was a supplemental first round pick in the 2009 MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates. During the two years the Patriots were eligible for NCAA Division I individual awards, Dallas Baptist had one Collegiate Baseball All-American (Drew Holder) and 14 players named to the AllIndependent Team. For his efforts, Newman was named Independent Coach of the Year in 2006.

Newman’s teams recorded wins over Oregon State, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, TCU, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech during his three years at DBU. On the national level, Dallas Baptist had at least one player invited to Team USA summer tryouts in three of his four seasons at the school (Lance Broadway in 2004, Austin Krum in 2006 and Black in 2007) and a total of 15 players – including eight pitchers – selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft or signed professional free agent contacts. Newman began his Dallas Baptist career as the school’s pitching coach in 2002, a position he held for two seasons before being named head coach. In his time as an assistant, he lowered the team ERA from 5.80 in 2002 to 3.28 in two seasons. Their 3.28 team ERA in 2004 would have ranked seventh nationally except for DBU’s provisional Division I status. That season, he produced a pair of 10-game winners in Broadway and Jeff Gilmore. Broadway, a finalist for the Dick Howser Trophy and Roger Clemens Award in 2005, would eventually become a first-round pick of the Chicago White Sox and reached the Major Leagues in 2007. Three of Newman’s Dallas Baptist pitchers earned National Pitcher-of-the-Week honors, while his staffs have thrown a perfect game and three no-hitters since the start of the 2003 season. Newman also brings expertise from the professional ranks, as he served as player-coach for the Single-A affiliate Vero Beach Dodgers in 2002. He played professionally for a total of eight seasons, including stints in the San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, and Arizona Diamondbacks organizations. Newman spent two years playing collegiate baseball at Fresno State prior to transferring to Texas Tech in 1993. He played for the Red Raiders one year before being chosen in the fifth round of the MLB Draft by the San Diego Padres in 1994. Newman graduated from Texas Tech with a bachelor’s degree in family studies in 1997, and completed his master’s degree in higher education at Dallas Baptist in 2005. Eric and his wife Melissa have a 2-year-old son, EJ.

COACHES/STAFF
Tom Osborne Athletic Director A Hall of Fame football coach returned to his roots on Oct. 16, 2007, to become the 13th athletic director at the University of Nebraska. Tom Osborne accepted the position at the time because, Osborne said, “Harvey Perlman asked me.” Perlman, UNL’s chancellor, asked Osborne to lead the program where he had served so productively as head football coach. Two months later, on Dec. 20, 2007, he announced that the word “interim” had been removed from Osborne’s title. In June 2009, he announced that Osborne would remain in the athletic director position for the foreseeable future. “Tom originally agreed to come in temporarily and get the department moving in the right direction. He clearly accomplished that. I believe he now feels comfortable serving on an ongoing basis and I certainly feel comfortable having him do so,” Perlman said. Osborne has repeatedly stated his preference to head the athletic department until two of his biggest projects – the Life Skills Center and a new basketball practice facility – are fully funded and the buildings are completed. Holder of master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of Nebraska in educational psychology, Osborne said he probably would not have considered coaching if he had not met Bob Devaney, who convinced him to become a volunteer graduate assistant on his staff. “Bob epitomized the value of loyalty, and I will always be grateful for the confidence he showed in me,” Osborne said. “Because of his leadership and empowerment as a coach and an athletic director, I was fortunate to serve 25 years as head coach.” Devaney put Osborne in charge of the offense that won two national titles and allowed him to concentrate on three areas he thought were important – a strong academic program for student-athletes, a strength and conditioning program and a more formalized program to attract walk-on players. Each area has grown into an important asset for all 23 Nebraska sports programs, which Osborne now oversees. Within months of his appointment, Osborne quietly re-established an athletic department mission based on five core values – integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty.

Under Osborne’s leadership, the Husker Nebraska's Athletic Directors bowling team brought home Nebraska’s 24th all- 1871-1876 — Allen R.

Since retiring from football in 1997, Osborne *interim co-directors has found several ways to stay active in his home state. His most visible post-coaching foray came in the political arena, as he served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district from 2000 to 2006. He also made a gubernatorial bid in 2006 before turning to academia. A native of Hastings, Neb., Osborne served 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. “I’ve spent the majority of my life working with the athletic department at the university and I want to do what I can at this point to continue in the pursuit of excellence that has been previously established,” Osborne said. Osborne has also poured time and effort into building a unique mentoring program within the state. The TeamMates program, founded by Tom and his wife, Nancy, in 1991, provides support and encouragement to school-aged youth with the goal of seeing children graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education. While he may hold a key position that molds the future of Nebraska Athletics, many will always remember Osborne for his legendary service to the program as a football coach. Osborne was named Nebraska’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season and worked the sideline for 25 years. Under Osborne’s direction, the program achieved remarkable success, exceeding any in its rich history. The Cornhuskers mounted a 255-49-3 record under Osborne, good for a winning percentage of .836. The 255 victories are sixth-most all-time among major college football coaches while the winning percentage ranks fifth all-time. His achievements were so highly regarded that the National Football Foundation waived its three-year waiting period so that he could be inducted into its Hall of Fame in December of 1998. He is one of only four coaches in history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period waived. Osborne’s coaching career came to a poetic end in the 1998 Orange Bowl. In his final game, the Huskers defeated No. 3 Tennessee, 42-17, giving him a share of a third national title in his final four seasons. The victory left Osborne as the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion, along with the nation’s best active winning percentage. Osborne guided the Huskers to back-to-back titles in 1994 and 1995, then capped his career by sharing the 1997 title with Michigan. Under Osborne, NU became just the second school all time and the first since Oklahoma in 1955-56 to post back-to-back perfect national championship seasons. Osborne’s last five Nebraska teams put together the best five-year run in collegiate football history with an amazing 60-3 record, including five consecutive 11-win seasons. Osborne-coached Nebraska teams captured 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 Husker football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in Osborne’s 25 years. To put Osborne’s dedication to developing complete studentathletes in perspective, 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.

2009 Season Review Huskers Rebuild for Future Success
Jeff Tezak steals home against Baylor, helping the Huskers close out the season with a sweep of the Bears. It was the first steal of home by a Husker since March of 2008.
Nick Sullivan enjoyed his best season as a Husker, hitting .272 with seven homers and 25 RBIs, while also achieving in the classroom. Sullivan was honored as Nebraska’s Student-Athlete of the Year and won Big 12 and NCAA postgraduate scholarships.

For the Nebraska baseball team, the 2009 season provided a great learning experience. The Huskers finished with a 25-28-1 record, missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004 and only the second time in the last decade. While the wins weren’t always there, the Huskers showed resilience throughout the year and battled to the very end, closing out the season with a three-game sweep of NCAA Regional qualifier Baylor, which earned respect from Head Coach Mike Anderson. “I don’t think I could be more proud of a group of kids for this reason: It was a very adverse and challenging year,” Anderson said. “When you’re not winning baseball games, those things happen. This group stayed together and that’s the No. 1 thing I think we can learn out of this entire situation. When there was a lot of stuff going on, they kept their effort and kept trying. It didn’t result in wins, but they kept trying.” The season finale was a fitting conclusion, as Erik Bird capped a strong final campaign with a complete game, setting a career high with seven strikeouts in his first-ever Big 12 start. Bird went 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA in his final three starts, all outings of at least nine innings giving the Huskers’ taxed pitching staff a boost down the stretch. “He finished the right way and did some great things for this program in his career,” Anderson said of Bird. While Bird found a groove on the mound, seniors Jake Mort and Nick Sullivan both enjoyed their best offensive seasons. Mort, who hit one homer in his first three years, belted a pair of homers and drove in a career-high five RBIs against BU. He finished the year setting career highs in batting average (.274), homers (six) and RBIs (29). Sullivan finished his senior campaign hitting .272 with seven homers and 25 RBIs. The trio, along with fellow seniors Cody Neer and Jeff Tezak, helped smooth the transition for a Husker lineup that underwent a youth movement.
One of the bright spots of the 2009 season was it allowed a young group of Huskers an opportunity to earn playing time. The Huskers played nine freshmen, including five position players, as they set the stage for future success. NU allowed its freshmen opportunities to play, as Cody Asche, Boomer Collins, Cory Burleson, Khiry Cooper and Kale Kiser all played at least 25 games in the field. Asche led the youngsters at the plate, hitting .290 with a pair of homers and 21 RBIs in 43 contests, while Burleson hit .275 in 24 starts behind the plate. His 24 starts were the most by a Husker freshman catcher in 20 years, and he finished strong, hitting .333 in NU’s final 15 games while not committing an error in that stretch. On the mound, freshmen Sean Yost and Kash Kalkowski continued to develop throughout the season. Yost moved into the starting rotation in late March and emerged as a solid member of the rotation. He went 1-1 with a 2.28 ERA in his final four Big 12 starts, earning his first Big 12 win with a completegame shutout of Baylor. Kalkowski became a vital part of the Husker bullpen, making 19 appearances and fanning 32 hitters over 34.1 innings. Outfielder Adam Bailey was another newcomer who provided a lift to the Husker attack. The junior college transfer hit .325 with team bests in both homers (12) and RBIs (50), as he ranked among the conference leaders for most of the year. He was one of two junior college transfers to make an impact, as infielder Kyle Bubak hit .277 and was second on the squad with 35 runs scored. Those newcomers joined veterans Tyler Farst and DJ Belfonte to provide a solid leadership corps. Farst earned AllBig 12 honors, leading the Huskers with a .333 average while driving in 36 runs, while Belfonte hit .256 and led NU in stolen bases and triples while providing solid outfield defense.
2009 REVIEW 2009 Season Notes
Sullivan Named Male Student-Athlete of the Year: Outfielder Nick Sullivan received one of the highest honors a Husker student-athlete can receive, as he was chosen as the 2008-09 NU Male Student-Athlete of the Year on April 26. He is just the third baseball player to receive the award since it was created in 1991. Sullivan was a two-time academic All-Big 12 selection who graduated with a 3.78 GPA in finance. A firstteam CoSIDA Academic All-District VII selection in 2008, he was on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll in all 10 semesters at Nebraska and was a nominee for the 2009 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. On the diamond, Sullivan hit .272 with seven homers and 25 RBIs. Nebraska Male Student-Athlete of the Year Year Baseball Student-Athlete 2003 Jeff Leise 2005 Daniel Bruce 2009 Nick Sullivan
Comeback Kids: Nebraska had 15 come-from-behind wins among its 25 victories, including eight wins where the Huskers had to overcome at least a three-run deficit. NU has 113 comefrom-behind wins under Mike Anderson since 2003. Nebraska won five games in its last at-bat in 2009, including four runs in the bottom of the eighth in a 14-13 win over Northern Colorado on March 24. Bird Flies High: Senior Erik Bird threw at least nine innings in each of his final three starts, becoming the first Husker pitcher to do that this decade. He went 9.1 innings in a 12-inning win over Creighton before tossing consecutive complete games against New Mexico (April 28) and Baylor (May 17). His performance against the Bluejays was the longest by a starter since Tony Watson pitched 10.0 innings against Missouri on March 23, 2007. Record-Setting Opener: Nebraska set a school and Big 12 record in the opener against UL-Lafayette, as five Husker pitchers combined for 22 strikeouts The performance broke the school and conference mark of 21 set by the Huskers at
Erik Bird threw at least nine innings in each of his final three starts, including back-to-back complete games against New Mexico and Baylor.
Jake Mort belts the second of his two homers against Baylor in the season finale. Mort, who had one homer in his first three seasons at Nebraska, totaled six to rank third on the team in 2009.

Snapped: Nebraska went 25-28-1 in 2008, as its streak of 11 consecutive seasons over .500 was the second-longest streak in the Big 12. Only Oklahoma State, which had not had a losing record since a 16-28 mark in 1977, had a longer streak among Big 12 schools. OSU is the only program in the Big 12 without a losing season since the Big 12 was formed in 1997. 10 Hits Was Key: Reaching double figures in hits was a key for the Huskers in 2009. When they had at least 10 hits in a game, the Huskers were 21-9-1, but just 4-19 when they were held to fewer than 10 hits. Preserving Wins: Nebraska was an impressive 15-2-1 in 2009 when a starting pitcher left with a lead. Double Duty for Bailey: Adam Bailey did something that no other Husker had done in 14 seasons against UL-Lafayette on Feb. 21. He became the first Husker player to earn a victory and hit a homer in the same game since Alvie Shepherd accomplished the feat against Kansas on April 5, 1995. Bailey entered the game as a reliever in the top of the fourth and fanned three over 2.2 innings of two-hit relief. He moved to right field for the final three innings, going 1-for-2 with a ninthinning homer that was the final margin of victory in a 9-8 win. Caught in a MLB Draft: Nebraska had three players selected in the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft in June and has had 26 draft picks over the last four seasons. Both Mike Nesseth and Adam Bailey elected to return to school, while Jeff Tezak hit .280 with 32 RBIs playing in Great Falls in the Pioneer League
in the summer of 2009. In addition, Cody Neer signed with the Kansas City T-Bones of the Northern League. 2009 Major League Baseball Draftees Player, Pos.

Academic All-Big 12 Leaders: Nebraska set a school record in 2009, as 10 Huskers were named to the academic All-Big 12 team. It topped the previous high of nine set in 2004, while the eight first-team selections (3.20 or better GPA) also established a school mark. Nebraska had eight members on the first team, including DJ Belfonte, Matt Freeman, Casey Hauptman, Jake Mort, Cody Neer, Eric Rose, Nick Sullivan and Jeff Tezak. It marked the third time that both Sullivan and Mort were honored and the second straight year for Belfonte. In addition to the eight firstteam honorees, Tyler Farst and Michael Mariot both received second-team laurels. Graduation Day: A trio of Husker players participated in graduation ceremonies last year. In December of 2008, Jeff Tezak graduated prior to his senior year, and spent the 2009 season working on a master’s degree. Last May, Jake Mort and Nick Sullivan completed their degrees and participated in graduation ceremonies. In all, three of NU’s five seniors received their degrees before completing their playing days. Seeing Double: The Huskers played eight doubleheaders in 2009, including five of eight weekends in conference action. All five Big 12 doubleheaders were caused by inclement weather. The Huskers have not lost a conference tilt to inclement weather since 2001, the second-longest streak in the Big 12. Putting Up Runs: Nebraska showed the ability to score runs in bunches in 2009. The Huskers plated five runs in an inning 14 times in 2009.

The Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship returns to Oklahoma City’s AT&T Bricktown Ballpark for a May 26-30, eight-team championship. The Brick, which opened on April 2, 1998, and seats 13,066 fans, serves as the home facility for the Class AAA Oklahoma Redhawks. The facility will host its 11th baseball championship in the league’s 14-year tenure. In 2006, the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship surpassed the one million mark in attendance and a total of 1,279,001 fans have watched the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship. Previous championships have almost annually set attendance records while playing at three sites to date: All-Sports Stadium (1997) in Oklahoma City, AT&T Bricktown Ballpark (1998-2001, 2003, 2005-09), and Ameriquest Field in Arlington (2002, 2004). Past championship winners include Kansas (2006), Nebraska (1999-2001, 2005), Oklahoma (1997), Oklahoma State (2004), Texas (2002-03, 2008-09), Texas A&M (2007) and Texas Tech (1998).
Championship Format
The Big 12 began the implementation of a two-division, pool-play format for the championship in 2006. Previously, the event was conducted as a double-elimination tournament. Under the current format each of the eight teams competing is guaranteed at least three games. Results from the league’s 27-game round-robin conference schedule will determine the eight seeds for the championship. Seeds 2, 3, 6 and 7 will compete in pool play on one side of the bracket, while seeds 1, 4, 5 and 8 will play in the other. The teams with the best record within their bracket will advance to the championship game, with the winner earning the Big 12’s automatic berth into the NCAA Championship. Head-to-head competition will break ties within each bracket. In the event of more than two teams being tied for the top spot within a bracket, the highest seeded team will advance to Sunday’s winner-take-all championship game.
Championship History
In May of 2006, the Big 12 announced that Oklahoma City and AT&T Bricktown Ballpark will continue to host the Phillips 66 Baseball Championship through the 2011 season. The tournament has been contested in Oklahoma City 11 of the last 13 years (All Sports Stadium – 1997; Bricktown Ballpark – 19982001, 2003, 2005-09). In 2002, the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship moved to the largest postseason venue with the exception of football and outdoor track and field in Big 12 history. Ameriquest Field in Arlington, Texas, home of the American League’s Texas Rangers, set a national record with 150,196 tickets sold for 14 games. In the two years (2002, 2004) at Ameriquest Field, the tournament had 275,824 tickets sold for 27 games--an average of more than 10,000. The 1999 event had then-record fan support with a record 129,334 attendance for 13 games. Fans also had the opportunity to watch an expanded, eight-team event (from the previous sixteam contests in 1997 and 1998) at Oklahoma City. One year after that record turnout, the 2000 Phillips 66 Championship had the third-largest turnout in Division I baseball history with 126,482 tickets sold for 14 games. In 1997, the initial six-team Big 12 tourney drew a thennation’s best total attendance of 56,742. The Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship has received consistent television coverage over the years. FSN and its regional affiliates have carried each title game as well as the “if necessary” contests in the 1997 and 1998 classics at OKC. Alltime, a total of 29 games have been televised. In addition, the Big 12 conference video streamed each of the first three days of competition on Big12sports.com.

The Big 12 Conference Seven Big 12 teams reached NCAA regional play during the 2009 season The Big 12 Conference has established a consistent level of national success on the field and in the classroom as it continues its 14th season in 2009-10. Since it began play in 1996-97, the Conference can boast of 35 team crowns and over 420 individual NCAA Championships. The success continued this fall, as Oklahoma State won the NCAA men’s cross country title. The Big 12 also had a school play for the BCS National Championship for the seventh season. A year earlier, the Big 12 added three more national titles to its ledger as Texas A&M captured crowns in men’s golf as well as men’s and women’s outdoor track & field. The Big 12 has had four Heisman Trophy winners in its 13-year history. In 2008, the Big 12 established a high-water mark, as for the first time in the 74-year history of the Heisman Trophy four of the top five vote-getters hailed from the same conference, including award-winner Sam Bradford (Oklahoma). The league followed that recognition with two of the top five finalists, including Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh in 2009. During the past six seasons a total of 14 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the conference, including each of the past 13 seasons. The Big 12 leads all conferences with its seven appearances in BCS title games. Seven league squads have played for the football national championship in the last 10 years with berths in 17 BCS games overall, including two each in 2007 and 2008. In the past two seasons, the Big 12 has had 16 players earn consensus All-America accolades. In basketball, 10 women’s and nine men’s teams have advanced to their respective Final Fours in the past eight seasons as the Big 12 continues its place among the elite intercollegiate athletic conferences. Numerous national honors have been won by basketball student-athletes during the league’s history. The Big 12 had a national player of the year honoree for the third straight year when Blake Griffin (Oklahoma) was the consensus winner in 2008-09. The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. Big 12 student-athletes also do well in garnering national academic recognition. Sarah Pavan (Nebraska) was named Academic All-America of the Year in volleyball in 2006 and 2007 by ESPN The Magazine and College Sports Information Directors of America with a 4.0 grade-point average in biochemistry. She also won the national academic honor presented for all sports in 2006-07 and was named recipient of the prestigious 2006-07 Honda-Broderick Award as Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. She is the first athlete since the Big 12 was formed to earn the accolade. In its history, the conference has over 330 academic honorees, averaging more than 25 each season. The Big 12 can boast of other stories that combine on and off the field success. Patience Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008, given to an outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female studentathletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards. Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships at the end of each academic year. A total of 225 scholars have received over 1.3 million in postgraduate financial aid through the first 13 years of the program. The Big 12 sponsors 21 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, swimming and diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball. The conference is made up of 12 institutions that have shared many traditional rivalries throughout their histories. Member schools include - Baylor, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State. Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. The institutions created a league that encompasses seven states, over 46 million people and television households in 18 of the top 100 markets within its geographic footprint. The Conference conducts championships for 20 of its 21 sports. Each championship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the conference in national postseason competition. The winner of the Big 12 football championship game earns the league’s berth into the prestigious Bowl Championship Series. In the last several years the Big 12 has increased its bowl agreements and expanded television opportunities for all sports through contracts with ABC/ESPN and FSN. Most recently, the league renewed and expanded its multi-year arrangement with ABC/ESPN, Inc. The new contract began in 2008-09. In its first 13 years, the conference has distributed more than $1.1 billion to its 12 member institutions. The Big 12 staff administers to over 4,600 student-athletes in its 21 sports. The conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

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) Teams 123 Austin College 000 Nebraska 203
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.

Brian Duensing (2003-05)
2009-Present; Minnesota Twins Brian Duensing is the most recent Husker to reach the Major Leagues, as he made the Minnesota Twins’ opening day roster in 2009. He made 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. He went 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 was a third-round draft pick of the Twins in 2005 after compiling a 17-2 record as a Husker from 2002 to 2005. He also represented Team USA in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, helping Team USA to a bronze medal, as he went 1-0 with a 1.17 ERA in four games. Year Team 2009 MIN Totals 1 Year

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 Xanthus 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 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 regular-season and tournament titles, hitting .372 with 19 homers, 66 RBIs and 23 stolen bases. A two-time 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 has appeared in the MLB Playoffs three times over the last seven years. Erstad has spent the 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 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. 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, committing four errors in 1,056 total chances.

Defensively, he led all AL center fielders with a .998 fielding percentage, committing one error in 473 total chances, en route to his second Gold Glove in three years. During the postseason, Erstad batted .352 with a pair of homers, while tying a Major League record with 25 hits in the Angels’ first playoff appearance since 1986. He enjoyed a career year in 2000, leading the Majors with 240 base hits, batting .355 and topping the Angels in seven categories, including average, runs, hits, total bases and stolen bases. His 240 hits tied for the 12th most in Major League history and the most since Wade Boggs had 240 in 1985. Erstad earned an All-Star bid for the second time and won his first Gold Glove, committing three errors in 362 total chances for a .992 fielding percentage. In 1998, he hit .296 with 82 RBIs and 84 runs scored, and became an All-Star for the first time in his career. His jump to the Major Leagues came after only one year in the minors. Erstad hit .284 with four homers and 20 runs batted in during 57 games as a rookie in 1996. In 1997, he landed the Angels’ starting first base job, finishing the season with a .299 average and 16 home runs. In 1998, Erstad played in 133 games and hit .296 with 19 home runs and 82 RBIs. 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 allconference selection, was also the starting punter for the Huskers’ 1994 national championship football team, helping NU to a 13-0 record.

T
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 nine of the past 11 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. The Huskers were second among Big 12 schools, trailing only Texas. 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). No Big 12 team has won more than Nebraska’s four Big 12 Tournament crowns since the league was formed in 1997.

THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES
T
he goal of every college baseball program around the country is the same every year - to reach the College World Series in Omaha. Every June, fans around the country see the passion that Nebraskans have for college baseball. For college baseball fans, there truly is no place like Nebraska. For the Husker baseball program, that takes on special meaning, as Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium is less than an hour from campus. When the Huskers reach the College World Series, the stage is amplified, making it the toughest ticket in town. Nebraska has reached the pinnacle of college baseball three times since 2001, most recently in 2005.
Husker Baseball Spotlight
• Nebraska is one of only two Big 12 teams to make multiple College World Series appearances since 2000. • Nebraska is one of only 19 programs nationally - and one of only two in the Big 12 - to average 40 wins per season since 2000. • Nebraska has been in nine NCAA Regionals and four Super Regionals in the past 11 seasons. • Nebraska became the first Big 12 program to win three regularseason titles and joins Texas as the only two programs to win four Big 12 Tournament crowns. • Nebraska has reached the Big 12 Championship game six times in the last 11 seasons. • Nebraska has won 40-or-more games in eight of the past 11 years, including three 50-win seasons. That is the most 40-win seasons by any Big 12 program in that stretch. • Since the NCAA went to the 64team format in 1999, Nebraska has made nine appearances, which ties for 13th nationally. NU’s total also ranks second among Big 12 programs in that span.

An indoor skybridge connects the Hawks Championship Center with Memorial Stadium, allowing Husker student-athletes to study, eat, lift and practice without battling the elements.
ver the last 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 21 players selected in the top-10 rounds of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. 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 seven draftees a year over the past eight seasons.

Academic Counseling
Featuring one of the most innovative and comprehensive academic support systems in the country, Nebraska is dedicated to helping its student-athletes become outstanding leaders in their chosen fields. The academic support team is comprised of 14 fulltime staff members and a tutorial staff of approximately 70 tutors addressing all subject areas.
Tutorial Support
Seven academic counselors and five 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.
A tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support is available from day one up to college graduation.

Study Hall
There are two facets to the study hall program at Nebraska.
