McConnaughey Named Preseason All-American
Huskers.com
Junior Mason McConnaughey earned third-team preseason All-America honors from D1Baseball, the publication announced Tuesday morning.

McConnaughey is coming off a second-team All-Big Ten campaign, where he went 9-3 with a 3.45 ERA in 17 appearances, including 11 starts in 2024.

The Topeka, Kan., native totaled 91 strikeouts and held opposing hitters to a .239 batting average in 73 innings last season. As a sophomore, he struck out nine or more batters in five starts, including three games with at least 10 strikeouts and a season-high 11 against Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament.

McConnaughey is the fifth NU pitcher in school history to return after a 90-plus strikeout season, joining Bob Sebra, Troy Brohawn, Shane Komine, and Joba Chamberlain.
 
Why do they start the season so soon?
Ask @PonyBoy, I’m sure he knows a lot better than me. I’d assume it’s to line the season up with school. Don’t want most of the season to be when students are out. Only good part is it bridges the gap of boredom until MLB starts.
