For the third straight year, Nebraska baseball has a freshman All-American among its ranks. Omaha native burst onto the scene with his first Husker at-bat resulting in a home run. He also hit one out of the park in his last at-bat of the regular season vs Michigan.
Anderson was tabbed as the Big Ten freshman of the year and made the second team All-Big Ten list.
From the athletic department:
Max Anderson racked up another postseason award on Wednesday, as he was named a freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. It’s the third-straight season Nebraska has produced a freshman All-American, as Colby Gomes (NCBWA) was honored in 2019 and Leighton Banjoff (Collegiate Baseball) was picked in 2020.
