The Nebraska baseball team received the No. 39 ranking in Collegiate Baseball’s Fabulous 40 Preseason Poll, released on Tuesday.
Last season, the Huskers captured the Big Ten regular-season title before qualifying for the NCAA Tournament for the third time in the last four years. NU compiled a 35-22-1 mark overall, while going 16-7-1 during Big Ten play.
Nebraska returns three of its four All-Big Ten selections from 2017, including Scott Schreiber, Angelo Altavilla and Jake Hohensee. Schreiber, a two-time first-team all-conference selection, was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 26th Round of the 2017 MLB Draft, but elected to return to Nebraska for the 2018 campaign.
