Nebraska also has three players who were named All-Big Ten on offense.

That run to the postseason begins at noon on Feb. 16 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, against Baylor in the opener of the College Baseball Showdown.

How Did Nebraska Baseball Do In 2023? 

The Cornhuskers rebounded from a disappointing 23-30 finish in 2022 by getting back on the right side of .500 in 2023 at 33-23-1. 

Nebraska finished fourth in the Big Ten Conference, going 15-9 in the league, but the Cornhuskers did not receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament. 

Nebraska lost in the Big Ten Tournament to conference champion Maryland. 

Who Coaches Nebraska Baseball? 

Will Bolt became Nebraska's baseball coach in 2020. 

Bolt, a Cornhuskers second baseman from 1999 through 2002, worked as an assistant for his alma mater and Texas A&M, before taking over for Darin Erstad as head coach. 

Bolt's first full season in 2021 produced a Big Ten Conference championship and berth in the NCAA Tournament. 

Has Nebraska Ever Won The College World Series? 

No, Nebraska baseball has never won the College World Series. 

The Cornhuskers made their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 1979 and advanced to Omaha for the College World Series for the first time in 2001. 

Nebraska made three College World Series runs from 2001 through 2005.
