A Nebraska pitcher was named to an All-American team earlier this week. The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association selected Senior Brett Sears as a second-team All-American.
Sears’ honor is the highest by a Nebraska starting pitcher since Aaron Marsden in 2003. The All-American award comes after Sears was named first-team all-region and NCBWA District 6 Player of the Year honors earlier this month.
The Big Ten Pitcher of the Year had a 9-1 record with a 2.16 ERA and 101 strikeouts in 104 innings. He also averaged a 0.88 WHIP and a 5.32 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Sears is the first Husker pitcher to record 100-plus strikeouts in a season since 2008. The 101 punchouts are the ninth-most in program history.
More accolades for 34.
