SEWARD, Neb. – In many ways, the 2019 Concordia University baseball has reset the standard for the program. The GPAC regular season champion Bulldogs broke numerous team records (see below), including a new record for conference wins in a season and longest win streak in school history. Naturally, many individuals made their way either to the very top of program all-time lists or put themselves inside the top 10.

Among the highlights, a pitching staff full of swing-and-miss arms shattered the previous program standard of 382 strikeouts in a single season by fanning 501 hitters. Jason Munsch became the school’s all-time strikeout king while 2019 Concordia pitchers posted three of the program’s six highest single-season strikeout totals ever. Offensively, Christian Meza rose to No. 1 all-time in doubles and finished his career in the top 10 of nine categories currently tracked on the career record book.

Now a two-time GPAC Coach of the Year, Ryan Dupic has presided over the winningest five years in program history. Over his five-year tenure, Dupic has guided Concordia to a combined record of 146-109 with two GPAC regular season titles, two GPAC postseason championship game appearances and two NAIA national tournament opening round trips.
