Creighton Baseball Adds Three for the 2025 Season

Omaha, Neb. -- Creighton Baseball head coach Ed Servais announced his 2023 fall signing class in the trio of Eason Hurd (Green Bay, Wis,), Wilson Magers (Mankato, Minn.) and Nick Venteicher (Omaha, Neb.). These three will join the Bluejays for the 2025 season, joining the Creighton locker room next fall.

"We expect to return a significant core in 2025, so we wanted to be selective in this process. Give a lot of credit to the hard work and execution displayed by our staff as each of our three additions have the ability to contribute as freshman," said head coach Ed Servais.

Eason Hurd—Ashwaubenon HS, Green Bay WI, 6'0 195 - Infielder
A four-year varsity starter, Hurd is the top ranked third baseman in Wisconsin by Perfect Game (also Top 500 nationally by Perfect Game) and the sixth rated infielder by Prep Baseball Report. He collected four Fox River Classic All-Conference awards, is a two-time conference champion and was more impressive in the classroom with better than a 4.0 in each semester.

"Eason is an offensive minded player, that we expect to transition smoothly to the next level," noted Servais. "He has a knack for consistently squaring up the baseball to all fields."

Wilson Magers—Mankato West HS, Mankato MN, 6'2 200 - Right Handed Pitcher

Magers comes to Omaha from Mankato, Minnesota, where he was a starter on the 2022 Minnesota state runner-up team as a sophomore. Selected to the 2023 Legion All-Star Series, Wilson was the eighth ranked player in Minnesota by Prep Baseball Report and ranked in Perfect Game's Top 500 national prospects. Magers claimed All-City and All-Section honors as a junior in 2023 as well as the team leadership award. In the classroom he posted a 3.959 GPA and is a member of the National Honor Society.

"Wilson brings a power arm that already reaches into the low 90s, but we believe there is additional upside as he continues to grow and develop," said Servais. "He also has the ability to command multiple offspeed pitches, which will help him at the next level."

Nick Venteicher—Millard West, 6'0 190 - Infielder

An Omaha native, Venteicher was an integral part of Millard West's State Championship squad in 2022 as well as the second place team in 2023. Venteicher hit .370 as a junior with a .670 slugging percentage to earn Lincoln Journal Star First Team Superstate honors. He is also a two-time All-State selection in football by the Omaha World Herald as well as once All-State in Baseball. In addition Venteicher tossed 15.2 innings of relief with eight saves and an ERA of 0.89 last season He is the seventh ranked player in Nebraska by Prep Baseball Report and another Top 500 nationally ranked player by Perfect Game.

"Nick is another very strong offensive player that knows how to hit," said Servais. "He also bring the versatility to play different positions in the infield and possibly help on the mound as well. Along with Nick's ability, his competitiveness is what separated him from most during our evaluation of him."
