Bolt Names Jasa Friday’s Starter & Other Updates

Carson Jasa dominates Michigan | Nebraska Athletics As the plebeian 5-12 seeds continue their adorable, little tournament to start the week, some Husker news has popped up with the preparation for the Championship Bracket Big Ten Tournament underway in Lincoln. The boys took the extra day Sunday and their usual Monday off to recover from the wear and tear of their stretch run, and reset all the pitching preparation for the tournament. They practiced Tuesday and Wednesday, working on situational baseball like pickles, pick-offs, bunt coverages and other things that kinda go by the wayside during the season as the focus on days off is more recovery and hitting.

They will get one more practice in Thursday before bussing to Omaha Thursday evening. This new double tournament format adopted by the Big Ten really could not have worked out better for the Huskers. Carson Jasa Tabbed Starter The best of the best.

Rather than mix up the order to pitch his ace against a potentially higher rated team, he stated they would be going with recently named 1st Team All Big Ten Carson Jasa. This is due to the fact that he has been their Friday starter over recent weeks and wanting to keep his preparation the same and give him the usual amount of rest. Honestly, Bolt has pressed all the right buttons in picking pitchers over the past two tournaments, so it’s hard to second guess him and Childress on any of these decisions.
