Braxton Stewart, a left-handed pitcher and former national prospect, has made the decision to join Nebraska baseball for the 2025 class. After going through the recruiting process multiple times, Stewart focused on substance and development rather than flashy offers. He believes Nebraska is the right choice for him due to the coaching staff’s commitment to winning.
Stewart, who redshirted at Louisville last season, will bring his talents to Nebraska with three years of eligibility. Despite being a top-500 national prospect with offers from prestigious schools like Wake Forest and Miami, Stewart chose to take a different path by attending Iowa Western before transferring to Nebraska.
The coaching staff at Nebraska was impressed by Stewart’s performance at Iowa Western and sees potential in his projectable frame. With a fastball in the low-90s and a variety of pitches in his arsenal, Stewart is looking to further develop his skills under the guidance of pitching coach Rob Childress.
While Stewart acknowledges that he still has room for improvement, he is excited to join the Huskers and contribute to the team’s success. He feels confident in his abilities and is looking forward to the opportunity to continue growing as a player at Nebraska.
Stewart’s journey to Nebraska may have had its challenges, but he is grateful for the opportunity and is eager to make the most of it. As he prepares to join the Huskers in the upcoming season, Stewart is focused on bringing his best to the team and helping them achieve their goals on the field.
