Shockers in the pros

This is at least semi-topical. Not a Shocker in the pros, but a former Shocker player who is now professionally coaching.

Mitch Mormann is the new pitching coach at Creighton. Wondering what Shocker fans remember him for, if anything?

Russ is the Mormon I remember. That was a great era in Shocker baseball. NCAA All American, First round MLB draft choice. 11 year MLB career

Great for Mitch. I don’t recall him. 2012 not a great Shocker year. One year as a Shocker Pitcher. A 35-25 Shocker team who bowed out in the MVC Tournament in 2 games.

But happy for a good baseball player and former Shocker player. I have a soft spot in my heart for all former Shockers. Good Luck to him.

He's obviously dead to us now.

I kid. I think.

Missing a CWS.

OK. Thanks. Even more so now. Any opinion on why the more than 50% increase MLB players? Gene was still involved in 14 of those years. No CWS and fewer 1st place finishes (in the Valley and now AAC). Sorry for the analogy, but it seems we could still hit the HR, but not hit for average. It would appear to me that, for Gene's years anyway, that his name (and BK) connected for some high-quality players, but the assumption by some here was correct on not beating enough bushes to fill the roster with better overall quality of players (who were not necessarily MLB level).

Interesting.

Check my math, but:

1st 22 years: 18 NCAA post seasons and 7 College World Series = 16 Major League players

2nd 22 years: 10 NCAA post seasons and 0 CWS = 25 Major League Players

Granted, a few players were during both and more MLB teams during the 2nd group, but still surprised by those MLP player numbers.

Maybe Bohm, Hilliard and Heuer will toss some money towards the baseball complex.

Perhaps, but we have options right in front of us that we need to explore.

Hilliard is back up and doing what he does.

Sam Tewes has injured his elbow again and is calling it a career.
