1. No one needs reminding that last season was a disaster for NU on the mound, which led to a disaster in the win-loss column. A rash of arm injuries beginning in 2016 decimated Nebraska's pitching depth as the Huskers finished the season ranked 231st out of 297 Division I teams with an ERA of 5.70.
At one point last season, Nebraska had a pitching staff on which more than half of its 18 members had missed time with arm injuries.
That led to changes in Nebraska's offseason workout regimen as players started to work their way back.
