Nebraska baseball is going all in on it for a 2023 turnaround

Former assistant Andy Sawyers, now the coach at Southeast Missouri State, has a “rule of 25” that’s generally true of good teams. Add up the combined seasons of regulars in a lineup — a freshman equals one, a sophomore equals two, etc. — and the total should be at least 25.


Nebraska’s number in 2021 was 30, even with two freshmen mainstays in infielders Max Anderson and Brice Matthews. Last year was 25.
This season it will likely range from 28 to 34. That includes four fifth-year returners in Efry Cervantes (corner infielder) and Griffin Everitt (catcher/first baseman) along with transfers Casey Burnham (center field) and Charlie Fischer (first base/outfield).

Undefeated regular season? Probably
CWS bound? Definitely
National champs? Oh indeed

Can the 2023 Nebraska Cornhuskers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates?

Can the 2023 Nebraska Cornhuskers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates?

Definitely. Question doesn't even get interesting until we can only play 7 in the field and bat with 2 outs

Of any major sport baseball is definitely the one where the odds are more possible for the college team to actually win the game.

Yep. Still extremely, extremely unlikely though. But a college team with an elite ace going against a bad MLB team’s #5 could theoretically have a chance.

Kind of sounds like our rotation this year will be:

1. Olson (Junior, left-handed, second team All-Big Ten 2022)
2. Kaminska (Junior, right-handed, transfer from Wichita State, was a first team freshman all-amerian)
3. Sears (Junior, right-handed, transfer from Western Illinois/Cockeye Central CC, was division 2 juco all-american)
4. Clark (Freshman, left-handed, top 5 Canadian prospect)

Where does Kyle Perry factor or does he at all?

Any word on Christo?

He's just a reliever now.

And Schaneman is a reliever as well, possibly closer

 

[Kaladin]

Any word on Christo?

I was wondering that as well. He got his shit rocked last year, hopefully he developed over the offseason

What’s the floor this year?

CWS Semis

What’s the floor this year?

I'm guessing we finish top half of the Big Ten this year, maybe top 3

Clark or Garza are slotted for Sunday.

Bullpen.

Any word on Christo?

Took a jump in the fall but not enough to crack the weekend rotation. We have a couple Tuesdays-Wednesday games this year so I anticipate him starting the second of two pending the weekend bullpen workload.

We also have a couple 4-game series so it'll be interesting how that's handled.

What do you think the lineup will look like?

Speculating on defense:

Infield is Fischer, Anderson, Matthews, Carey with Cervantes late game defender. Outfield is 2 B's and Anglim. Caron behind the dish with Everitt as DH.

Which of the newcomers should we get to know, hitting wise? Too many newcomers to keep track of.
