    Righthander Matt Foust had major shoulder surgery and redshirted in 2004, then pitched just 13 innings in the next two years at Nebraska. At the end of the 2004 season, Cornhuskers coaches told him he needed to improve and stop squandering his potential. Foust dropped 20 pounds--he now carries 223 on his 6-foot-3 frame--and has become a much better pitcher. His fastball ranges from 89-93 mph, and he has developed a hard slider.
