The approach paid off for the right-handed pitcher from southern Louisiana this week as he committed to Nebraska. “I never really talked to Nebraska before,” Fenske said. Fenske still has family there and comes back often, usually attending a couple football games each year. He projects as a starting pitcher over the long term. Fenske knew Nebraska pitching coach Rob Childress through a family friend whose son, John Doxakis, thrived as a multi-year starting pitcher under Childress at Texas A&M and became a second-round draft pick in 2019.
