History Made: Jordy Bahl Smashes Her Way Into the Record Books — Ties Nebraska’s Single-Season Home Run Mark!
Nebraska softball standout Jordy Bahl has etched her name into the annals of Cornhusker history by tying the program’s single-season home run record. With 23 homers this season, Bahl’s remarkable achievement underscores her exceptional dual-threat capabilities, both as a formidable pitcher and a powerful hitter.
Bahl’s journey to this milestone has been nothing short of extraordinary. After transferring from Oklahoma, where she was a two-time Big 12 Pitcher of the Year and a two-time national champion, Bahl has continued to dominate in the Big Ten. This season, she boasts a .475 batting average, ranks sixth nationally in OPS at 1.576, and has driven in over 50 runs. On the mound, she maintains a 1.50 ERA with a 26-6 record, placing her among the top pitchers in the nation. Notably, Bahl is the only player in the country to rank in the top ten in batting average, home runs, ERA, and wins .
Her prowess has drawn comparisons to MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani, highlighting her unique impact on both sides of the game. Bahl’s contributions have been pivotal in propelling Nebraska to the brink of the Women’s College World Series, a feat the program hasn’t achieved since 2013.
Beyond her individual accolades, Bahl’s leadership and performance have galvanized the Huskers, instilling confidence and ambition within the team. As Nebraska continues its postseason journey, Bahl’s historic season serves as both an inspiration and a testament to her exceptional talent and dedication to the sport.
