Nebraska pitcher was named to another All-American team. On Friday morning, senior Brett Sears was selected as a second-team All-American from the American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings.

Sears’ honor is the highest by a Nebraska starting pitcher since Aaron Marsden in 2003. This is the third time the pitcher has been named an All-American, with the National Collegiate Baseball Writers and Perfect Game naming Sears an All-American early last week.

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.
