A Nebraska baseball player has signed an undrafted free-agent contract to play professional baseball. Senior Shay Schanaman signed an undrafted free-agent contract with the Atlanta Braves.
The Grand Island, Nebraska native is the fifth Husker to sign with an MLB team this offseason. Brice Matthews, Max Anderson, Emmett Olson, and Jace Kaminska were selected in the MLB Draft last week.
Schanaman was 3-6 with six saves and a 3.07 ERA in 26 appearances last season. The pitcher was a third-team All-Big Ten selection in 2023.
He concluded his Nebraska career in the top ten all-time in Husker baseball history in pitching appearances and strikeouts.
