Nebraska Pitcher Mason McConnaughey Suffers Season-Ending Arm Injury

A massive blow to Nebraska baseball's pitching staff.

Coach Will Bolt announced Wednesday that junior right-handed pitcher Mason McConnaughey will miss the remainder of the 2025 season after suffering an arm injury against Sam Houston last weekend.

"We are disappointed to hear the news of Mason’s season-ending injury," Bolt said. "We are grateful that Mason is in excellent care with our medical team and are confident in a full recovery.


"Mason’s not only a key part of our pitching staff, but also a leader in the clubhouse. His work ethic and competitive spirit set the tone for everyone around him. While we’ll miss having him on the mound this year, we know he’ll attack his recovery with the same determination he brings every day, and we look forward to welcoming him back stronger than ever."
