Former Nebraska Cornhuskers star Matt Waldron is set to make his major league debut on Saturday and he’ll be throwing a knuckleball when he does.
Back in the Shane Komine, Job Chamberlain days of Nebraska baseball, it wasn’t all that strange to hear that a former Husker player was taking the mound in a Major League Baseball game. These days, however, it’s quite a rarity.
That’s why former Nebraska Cornhuskers star Matt Waldron getting the call from the San Diego Padres is plenty noteworthy. That he’s going to be throwing knuckleballs when he takes the mound is plenty noteworthy as well and not just for Nebraska fans.
