Nebraska baseball has a new pair of former stars on their way to the pros: Huskers catcher Josh Caron (Seattle Mariners) and pitcher Brett Sears (Atlanta Braves) were both selected in the first seven rounds of the MLB Draft on Monday.
The duo getting selected gives Nebraska a total of seven draft picks over the past two years and nine total selections over the past four MLB Drafts. Those nine have all been under the direction of Husker head coach Will Bolt, who just wrapped up his fifth season in charge of the program.
