Nebraska pitcher drafted by Texas Rangers in MLB Draft
McConaughey went 10-4 in two seasons with the Nebraska baseball program. He recorded 110 strikeouts and sported a 3.86 ERA during his time with the program. His best season with the program came in 2024, when he tallied a 9-3 record with a 3.45 ERA in 91 strikeouts over the course of 73 innings

Now, he will join a Texas Rangers pitching staff that is young and full of talent.
Although the news is good, this is certainly a blow for the program itself. McConaughey would have been heading into his senior season and been the ace of the pitching staff. The program will have to look for other arms to fill the void left by McConaughey's absence. This is certainly an interesting development for a team looking to take the next step.

2025 MLB All-Star Game to take place at Braves' home park after it was taken away over voting law controversy
The MLB All-Star Game will take place Tuesday night at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia, with the American League looking to continue its dominance over the National League. The American League has won 10 out of the last 11 games, not including the 2020 season in which the game was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The National League won the game in 2023, but the American League rectified their loss last season in Arlington, Texas. This year, the game heads to the home of the Atlanta Braves. It's the first time the All-Star Game will be played in their stadium since they played at Turner Field in 2000. The Braves were initially supposed to host the 2021 All-Star Game at Truist Park, but it was removed over an uproar about a voting law the state passed. The Election Integrity Act of 2021 placed new restrictions on voting by mail, added voter ID requirements and limited ballot drop boxes. Then-President Joe Biden criticized the law as "Jim Crow on steroids." On Monday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp praised MLB for returning the game to Atlanta and creating economic opportunities for businesses in the city. "We're excited about the game finally being here. It should have been here several years ago. They never should have pulled it to start with, but thankfully the game's coming back," Kemp said in an appearance on "Fox & Friends." "It's good for the Braves organization. It's good for all the vendors and small business people in and around the ballpark and in the city of Atlanta up in Cobb County and really for our whole state." The law is presently still in place as the baseball world descends on the city. As far as the game goes, reigning American League Cy Young pitcher Tarik Skubal, of the Detroit Tigers, is set to start against National League Rookie of the Year, Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes. New York Yankees' All-Star Max Fried handed Skubal the opportunity to start the game as he felt that Skubal had earned the honor. Read below for the projected starters of the American and National League teams. American League National League The American League will be managed by the Yankees' Aaron Boone. The Dodgers' Dave Roberts will manage the National League. The MLB All-Star Game will be played on FOX at 8 p.m. ET. Full coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET.
