NebraskaThe Nebraska coaching staff yesterday announced that they have signed three more players to the baseball team.  Two pitchers and a catcher will soon be wearing the Big Red!  The trio includes a pair of right-handed pitchers in Casey Hauptman (Omaha) and Aaron Pribanic (Plano, Texas) and catcher Drew Gray (Harrisonville, Mo.).

Hauptman played at Millard South and Coach Anderson says he is one of the most improved players in the state.  He has a very good makeup to be a good college pitcher and should really help out the team.

Pribanic went a combined 8-2 in two seasons at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College.  Last year he went 6-1 with an ERA of 3.33 so he really got the job done for Hutchinson.  Pribanic can throw in the low 90’s and Coach Anderson said that he will be able to fill either the starters role or work out of the bullpen.

Gray will be coming to Lincoln from Longview Community College in Missouri.  In the 2007 MLB Draft, Gray was drafted in the 27th round by the Texas Rangers but has decided to goto college in Lincoln instead of signing a contract with the Rangers.  Gray earned first-team NJCAA All-America honors by hitting .386 with 14 homers, 16 doubles and 69 RBIs during his sophomore campaign.
