Nebraska Softball Announces Coaching Staff Addition

Frahm is coming off the best season of her career. She was named the USA Softball Collegiate Softball Player of the Year and, for a second straight season, earned NFCA Player of the Year honors. 

The Papillion native's career came to an end with a 3-1 loss to Texas. She pitched a complete game and hit a home run to become the first player in NCAA Division I history to record back-to-back seasons of 20 home runs and 20 wins.

The Big Ten Pitcher of the Year also led the Nebraska offense with a .403 batting average and 20 home runs. She added 51 RBIs, 11 doubles, and 60 runs scored. She also had a slugging percentage of .806 and an on-base percentage of .496.

In the circle, Frahm was 201-6 with a 1.37 ERA and 12 saves. Her 12 saves set a Nebraska single-season record, tied the Big Ten single-season record and ranked sixth in NCAA history. She has added eight shutouts and has struck out 251 batters and only walked 33.

Jordy Frahm Pens Love Letter to Softball

In a popular segment only done at the WCWS, Frahm was selected to represent Nebraska with a love letter to the sport of softball.

“Dear softball, you came into my life when I was just eight years old, and somehow became so much more than a game,” Frahm said. “You awakened something in me: a competitive spirit and a fire to push myself further than I thought I could go. You taught me how to be strong, how to fight through failure, how to test myself mentally, physically, and emotionally. For 15 years, you have shaped me.

“God has used you in my life in the most incredible ways. Through you, He has broken me down and rebuilt me stronger. He taught me humility and defeat, confidence and adversity, discipline in the everyday, and gratitude in the moments I never wanted to end. You carried me across this beautiful country and gave me experiences I could have never dreamed of as an eight-year-old little girl with a glove in her hand.”
