Good Monday morning!
As expected, Nebraska baseball fans didn’t have to wait long to hear some familiar names called in the MLB draft. Shortstop Brice Matthews went to the Houston Astros with the 28th pick. Matthews was a bright spot for a Husker team that fell short of their goals (not making the NCAA tournament). Matthews became the first Nebraska player to register 20 stolen bases and 20 home runs in the same season.
The next Husker to hear his name called, early in the second round, was Max Anderson. Anderson announced his presence early with his first at-bat as a Husker resulting in a home run.
