Jason Shockey begins his second season as an assistant coach at Creighton in 2007-08. Shockey coaches the Bluejay outfielders, hitters and will also be in charge of Creighton baseball camps.

Shockey's first season at Creighton was highly successful, as the Jays won their first Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Championship in school history. The team advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the eighth time in school history, and the Jays scored a season-high 21 runs in a regional victory over Albany.

The Jays slugged 101 doubles and 37 homers in 2007, but were also fundamentally sound at the plate, as the team set a school record with 93 sacrifice hits.

Under Shockey's tutelage, sophomore Darin Ruf had a breakout season at the plate. Ruf was named the Joe Carter MVC Player of the Year after leading the team in nine offensive categories including batting average (.374), RBIs (57), doubles (19), slugging percentage (.600), and hits (86).

The Shockey name might seem familiar to Creighton baseball fans as his younger brother, Colin, was the starting centerfielder for the Jays when they captured the Missouri Valley Conference title in 2005.

Shockey was an assistant coach at Iowa Western Community College from 2004-06. While at Iowa Western, he helped lead the Reivers to a 129-36 record. Iowa Western was ranked in the top 10 in the country all three of those seasons and he helped 18 sophomores sign with NCAA Division I schools. In the summer of 2005 he was manager of the Waterloo Bucks in the Northwoods League. He previously was an associate scout for the Cleveland Indians organization.

Shockey earned a bachelor of science degree in 2004 from the University of Nebraska Omaha. He played his last two seasons of baseball at Ohio University from 2001-03. As a senior, he started all 58 games at shortstop and helped lead the Bobcats to the Mid-American Conference Tournament. He finished third on the team in batting average with a .352 mark as a junior.

He played his first two years of college ball at Indian Hills Community College in Centerville, Iowa. He played two years at shortstop and helped lead the Falcons to a pair of conference titles.

Jason was married to Stacy Kirchert in November and the couple resides in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
