2018 Creighton Baseball Media Guide • Page 2 2018 Preview Since joining the BIG EAST prior to the 2014 season, Creighton has already claimed two regular-season titles and advanced to the BIG EAST Tournament championship game in 2014, 2015 & 2016.

The one piece that has eluded the Bluejays has been a tournament championship and an elusive bid into the NCAA Tournament.

Creighton claimed its second BIG EAST regular-season crown last year, going 11-4 in conference action to claim the top seed. Unfortunately the Bluejays came up a bit short at home.

For the second consecutive year the Bluejays have seen turnover. Last year the bulk of the position players were new to the Creighton blue. In 2018 that script has been flipped as just four pitchers returned to the bump.

“This year we will have a different type of pitching staff,” said head coach Ed Servais. “We will need to let hitters get themselves out. That puts more pressure on our defense, but I’m okay with that Junior Michael Emodi because we’re ready.” /Designated Hitter Known as a defensive guru, head coach Ed Servais believes that the Junior Michael Emodi did just about everything for the Bluejays 2018 squad has the potential to be one of his best in several years. last season. He led the squad in hits (50), RBI (39), doubles (13) and home runs (9). In addition, Emodi played all but eight innings “Last season our position players needed to find their rhythm. behind the dish.

The moment will not be too big for him.” In addition, Servais feels this team has more depth as the Bluejays’ leading hitter, Parker Upton, will begin as the fourth “Our pitching staff has a lot of talent and we will have several and log significant at-bats as Creighton’s designated hitter. options,” said Servais. “Our job as coaches is to put the players in Sophomore Nick Ortega is also expected to see time as a late situations to succeed.

Making the Home of the CWS Our Own After more than 20 years of calling the CU Sports Complex home, the Creighton baseball team moved into a new facil- ity in 2011. TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, located just a few blocks east of the CU Sports Complex, serves as the permanent home of the Creighton baseball team.

The $128 million facility holds more than 24,000 spec- tators. TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, which sits just one block northwest of the home of Creighton men’s - CenturyLink Center Omaha - also serves as the home for the NCAA Division I Men’s College .

Designed with the fans in mind, TD Ameritrade Park Omaha has a 360-degee continuous walkway on the concourse level, with both permanent and portable concession stands lining the concourse. There are 36 inches of leg room between seats, turning the stadium into a bowl while eliminating the stacking effect that happens in many stadiums today. Club seating for 2,500 members and access to three, full-service food stations draws many groups and parties to the facility. “The cool thing about it [the stadium] is that it’s completely The entire facility is accessible to people with disabilities and sacred to college baseball.” - Vanderbilt Head Coach seating inside the stadium meets ADA standards.

Both the media and the athletes who make their way to TD Ameritrade Park Omaha discover it is second to none. The playing surface includes a top-of-the-line draining system as well as heating features to ensure play in any type of Nebraska weather. The dirt base paths and grass infield and outfield gives the ball a natural bounce. Full-size dugouts down each line, complete with media pits, allow enough space for athletes and media to work side by side. Tunnels take players to covered batting cages and warm-up tunnels, followed by full locker rooms, complete with coaches suites and training rooms just off the showers that provide the best amenities for all involved.

A media interview room as well as a work room under the stadium provides working media a location to quickly generate and send out information through cables and internet functions built into the stadium. A three-tier working press box allows for plenty of seating come tournament time, with additional work cubi- cles located just behind the main seating. Five individual radio booths as well as the center television bay - complete with fully opening windows - gives all media members access to the angle they wish to cover for the game.

The Bluejays broke in the new facility on April 19, 2011, with a game against in-state rival Nebraska. Although it was a blustery night, more than 22,000 fans braved the weather to come out and get the first views at Omaha’s newest attrac- tion. The Bluejays averaged nearly 7,200 fans for the remainder of the 2011 home schedule, finishing eighth in the NCAA in overall home attendance. The numbers didn’t disappoint once the came to town, as 321,684 fans came through the turnstiles of TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, averaging just under 23,000 fans per session.

2018 Creighton Baseball Media Guide • Page 5 Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center

The Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center, a 50,000-square-foot building offering a multipurpose field house with synthetic turf for athletic team practices and intramural sports, was officially opened on Oct. 23, 2012. In addition to the indoor practice area, the Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center offers a suspended two-lane running track and a fitness level furnished with cardio, circuit-training and free-weight equipment for all Creighton students, faculty and staff.

Named for McCormick Endowed Creighton Director of Athletics Bruce Rasmussen, the facility was made possible by generous gifts from Ruth and Bill Scott as well as several other donors. The Scotts have been long-time supporters and friends of Creighton University. In 1995 they established a scholarship for international students who enrolled in the School of Medicine. The Nebraska natives have deep roots in the Omaha community and have donated generously to more than 100 different organizations.

Exercise is part of Bill Scott’s daily routine. “Several years ago I was severely injured in a fall. This experience and my subsequent recovery Creighton McCormick Endowed Athletic Director reinforced the importance of health and wellness activities for everyone, Bruce Rasmussen (middle) with Bill and Ruth Scott at the opening of no matter what your age. This convenient facility will be a visible remind- the Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center er, for all students, faculty and staff, of the investment Creighton makes in the whole person -- mind, body and spirit. And I can’t think of a finer person than Bruce Rasmussen to honor with this legacy,” said Bill Scott.

During Rasmussen’s tenure, Creighton’s athletic teams have risen to national prominence both on and off the field. Since Rasmussen assumed the role of athletic director, Creighton has won 37 regular-season and 40 conference tournament titles, which have helped lead to 81 postseason appearances.

Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top academic institutions is reflected in the success Bluejay student-athletes have had in the class- room during Rasmussen’s service as athletics director. Creighton’s base- ball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, , men’s and women’s cross country, women’s soccer and men’s and women’s teams all have received national awards for their academic success.

Bluejay student-athletes consistently own collective GPAs of 3.25 or above. Rasmussen was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. A member of the College World Series of Omaha, Inc., Executive Committee, Rasmussen played a vital role in seeing that Creighton and the city of Omaha remain as hosts of the College World Series.

His 1993 team at St. Mary’s came just short of making the Division III World Series, falling in the final of the Division III Midwest Regional. That team was ranked as high as No. 10 in the country. In his seven years as head coach, St. Mary’s had six players drafted by major league teams.

Servais’ first collegiate head coaching position came at Viterbo College in La Crosse, Wis., in 1988 when he coached the NAIA Division II V-Hawks in the first year of baseball at the school.

That same year, sec- ond baseman Chris Hinrichs and shortstop Scott Allen were each named Honorable Mention All-MVC, making for a combination that turned 54 double plays, which ranked among NCAA leaders. Catcher Tim Gradoville was also named honorable mention All- MVC in 2002.

2005 Major League Baseball Draft The 2005 Bluejays won the 46th Rd. (1391) Eric Wordekemper, RHP New York Yankees first MVC regular season championship and its 48 victories were second all-time at Creighton.

After a loss to No. 3 Nebraska, Creighton defeated the Wolfpack again in an elimination game, 11-9. De- Academic All-American Zach Daeges spite winning 2-of-3 during the regular season, the Bluejays could not overcome the Huskers, falling to the eventual CWS participant, 10-2 in the regional championship.

The remarkable turnaround executed by Servais earned Creighton’s head man MVC Coach of the Year honors for the second straight season. The team’s 48-17 finish was largely due to the team’s fundamen- tally sound approach, as Creighton led the country in double plays (85), and were in the top-20 nation- ally in fielding percentage. The bullpen was masterful, posting a 27-3 record and a 3.72 ERA. When holding a lead after seven innings, Creighton was 33-0. Sophomore left-hander Scott Reese finished 12-0 in a then-school-record 37 appearances to earn Third Team All-America honors from the NCBWA. Senior closer Brandon Bird was nearly automatic, converting on 11 save opportunities to join Reese on the All-MVC First Team.

Rasmussen was one of four regional winners from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) to take home a 2004 GeneralSports TURF Systems AD of the Year Award. In both 2010 and 2015, Rasmussen was honored with an Under Armour AD of the Year award by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. In 2008, he was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame.

Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top academic institutions is reflected in the success the Bluejay student-athletes have had in the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletics director. Creighton’s baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s golf, women’s soccer as well as men’s and women’s tennis teams all have received national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletes have owned GPAs of 3.30 or above in 22 straight semesters entering the fall of 2017.

Creighton’s primary annual athletics fundraising events are the Bluejay Bash and the Bluejay Jamboree. Under Rasmussen’s leadership, each of these events continues to raise record-breaking funds for Creighton athletics. Most notably, the 2016 Jamboree generated more than $400,000 through its gourmet dinner, raffle and auction.

Rasmussen accepted the associate athletics director position in 1992 after a 12-year run as the winningest coach in Creighton women’s basketball history (196-147), that culminating in the program’s historic 1991-92 season. The 1992 Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Rasmussen led the 1991-92 Bluejay women to a program-record 28 wins (28-4), the WAC regular-season and tournament championships and a first-round NCAA Tournament victory in the program’s first-ever trip to the “Big Dance.” With that 28-4 record in 1991-92, Rasmussen completed his college coaching career with a 196-147 record, good for a .571 winning percentage.

After serving as associate athletics director for two years, 1992-94, Rasmussen was named McCormick Endowed Athletic Director on Aug. 1, 1994. A native of Webster City, Iowa, Rasmussen and his wife, Jill, have five children: Megan, David, John, Katie and Grace.

Think of Omaha as center court: a dynamic and unique destination in the center of the country, full of action. Omaha has this special spirit that fills the city like an arena full of fans whose team just won with a buzzer beat- er. Excitement abounds for what it has built, what it has accomplished and what’s still ahead.

It’s a spirit born on the banks of the Missouri River, a city founded in 1854 by land speculators convinced they were at the heart of something new. Soon after, the transcontinental railroad was built and Omaha emerged as a hotbed of activity and new technologies.

There is a great story about Omaha’s growth in the early days that really speaks to the pioneering spirit of the city. As Omaha prepared to lay underground cables for telephones, workers were trying to figure out the easiest way to string the lines. Being an inventive bunch, Omahans solved the problem by getting ferrets to help carry the lines A view of the Omaha skyline at night. More than 850,000 people live in the through the tunnels.

It’s home to famed Saddle Creek Records and nationally renowned bands such as Bright Eyes, The Faint and Cursive.

Omaha is a city that never forgets its past. The Old Market is the true merging of old and new. The historic warehouse district was preserved and transformed into an art, shopping and dining district. Unique shops and restaurants lining cobblestone streets, it’s a place to remember where you’ve been and where you’re going.
