Big Ten Baseball Coaches Pick Nebraska as Preseason Favorite

The Huskers won the league last spring

A year after Big Ten Conference coaches picked Nebraska to finish outside the top six, the Huskers have been selected as the favorite to win the league.

The league office announced the Big Ten Preseason Coaches' Poll Thursday morning. After Nebraska, the next five selections in order are Michigan, Iowa, Maryland, Ohio State and Indiana.

The Huskers took advantage of a chip on their shoulder last spring, winning the conference and advancing to the final of the Fayetteville Regional where they fell to No. 1 overall seed Arkansas in a winner-take-all game.

Also Thursday, Nebraska seniors Kyle Perry and Shay Schanaman and sophomore Max Anderson were named to the Big Ten’s Preseason Honors List.

The Huskers open their season this weekend with a four-game series at Sam Houston in Huntsville, Texas.
