Poor take on this. The last time we had pitching like this, we made the CWS. It was mentioned during last night’s Creighton game. The batting avg. for opponents is around 230 if i remember correctly. I was a bit suprised as I agree some of our pitchers are not up to the task. But this is not horrible pitching from an NCAA perspective.More like Childress. Amazing this team has won 35 games given how shaky/bad the pitching has been. The bats have carried this team. Childress has had a great career, but his handling/building of the pitching staff this year has been beyond awful.
The 2005 Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball pitching staff held opponents to a .217 batting average during the season. Nebraska also finished second nationally in ERA at 2.41 while going 57–15 and reaching the College World Series.Poor take on this. The last time we had pitching like this, we made the CWS.

This means Nebraska’s pitching staff is holding opposing lineups to well below the national D‑I average, which typically sits around .265–.275 most seasons (inference based on historical NCAA averages).
