Four Huskers Named Team Captains

Cam Chick, Griffin Everitt, Kyle Perry and Shay Schanaman have been selected to serve as team captains for the 2022 season after a vote by the Nebraska baseball players.

“These four guys bring their own style of leadership to our team,” said head coach Will Bolt. “As a group, they continue to set the high standards of our program day in and day out. These guys have proven themselves as selfless teammates and consistent hard workers in their time here and are certainly deserving of this honor.”

In his three years, Chick has totaled 100 hits, 13 doubles, a triple, 16 home runs, 84 RBI and scored 75 runs.
