Three Cornhuskers Receive Big Ten Baseball Honors

It is no surprise that Nebraska’s representation on All-Conference teams this season is pretty sparse given their losing record and missing the Big Ten baseball tournament.

Only three players received recognition and none of them were placed on the first team.

Leading the way for the Cornhuskers is left-handed starting pitcher, Emmett Olson. Interestingly enough, Olson was tagged as a relief pitcher at the start of the season, but took advantage of the opportunities given to him to step into a starting spot because of injuries and inconsistency from other starters.

The 6’4” sophomore out of Maine West High School in Des Plaines, Illinois became the most reliable weekend starter for the Cornhuskers, making eight starts and nineteen total appearances.
