In a season packed with intensity, clutch performances, and unforgettable moments, Jordy Bahl has officially cemented her legacy in Nebraska sports history. The star pitcher for the Nebraska Cornhuskers softball team has been named the team’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) and was also honored with the Big Ten Softball Pitcher of the Year award in a stunning dual recognition that has Husker Nation buzzing.
The accolades come after a phenomenal season in which Bahl posted an eye-popping 1.13 ERA, struck out 247 batters, and carried the Cornhuskers to a College World Series berth—the program’s first in nearly a decade. Her unmatched intensity on the mound and commanding leadership in the dugout have made her not just a star, but a symbol of the program’s resurgence.
> “It’s never about one person,” Bahl said during the award ceremony. “It’s about what we build together. Every pitch, every inning, every win—it’s for Nebraska.”
Bahl transferred to Nebraska from Oklahoma in 2023, a decision that at the time shocked the softball world. Since then, she’s brought a fierce competitive edge and helped transform the Cornhuskers into a national powerhouse. Her dedication to the program, her teammates, and the state of Nebraska has been unwavering.
Head Coach Rhonda Revelle praised Bahl’s work ethic and impact both on and off the field:
> “Jordy is the kind of player every coach dreams of,” Revelle said. “She’s an elite athlete, a natural leader, and a tireless worker. She’s elevated this program to heights we haven’t seen in years.”
In addition to her MVP and Pitcher of the Year honors, Bahl was also named a finalist for the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award, marking her as one of the top three players in the nation.
The honors come as Bahl prepares for what may be her final season in the NCAA. While she remains focused on bringing a national title to Lincoln, there is growing speculation that she may be a top pick in the upcoming professional softball draft.
Husker fans have already immortalized her name in chants across Bowlin Stadium. But now, with trophies in hand and the postseason in full swing, Jordy Bahl’s legacy as a Cornhusker great is officially set in stone.
