Lead-in Nebraska softball phenom Jordy Bahl is rewriting the script for two-way dominance in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, turning every start, swing and social-media clip into appointment viewing for college-sports fans and MLB scouts alike. Jordy Bahl: ace, slugger and headline magnet • 21 pitching starts, 13 appearances at first base and four in the outfield have made Bahl the Cornhuskers’ ultimate roster cheat code this spring. • She swept Big Ten Pitcher and Player of the Year honors after posting a 0.96 ERA with 273 strikeouts while batting .374 with 17 homers and 54 RBI. Viral moment: 79.4 mph reaction-time feat In Game 1 of the Knoxville Super Regional, Tennessee flamethrower Karlyn Pickens unleashed a 79.4 mph rise-ball. Bahl fouled it straight back despite having just 0.318 seconds to react—a clip that bounced around X, TikTok and SportsCenter in minutes. Why scouts whisper “the Shohei Ohtani of softball” Bahl’s simultaneous elite pitching and middle-of-the-order thump have invited comparisons to MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani, a label national writers embraced after she belted four homers in her first four regional at-bats. Crunching the 2025 offensive numbers • Slugging percentage: .784 • On-base percentage: .467 • OPS vs. Top-25 pitching: 1.142 USA Today notes that she has more extra-base hits (29) than strikeouts (21) entering the Women’s College World Series. Nebraska’s title push hinges on her arm The Cornhuskers own a 38-3 record when Bahl pitches at least five innings and a 26-0 mark when she homers—numbers that illustrate how the sophomore controls both halves of the box score. Awards watch • Top-3 finalist: USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year (winner announced May 29). • Projected No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 WPF draft should she elect to turn pro after her junior season. What’s next Nebraska needs two wins in Oklahoma City to secure its first WCWS championship since 1985, and it will hand the ball—and the bat—to Bahl in both contests. If her spring trend line continues, the sport’s next viral highlight is only a pitch or a swing away.
