Jordy Bahl has once again made history, setting a new record in the NCAA playoffs and cementing her status as one of the most dominant players in college softball. The Nebraska star has achieved a feat never before seen in the sport, further solidifying her legacy as a game-changing athlete.
### A Historic Achievement
Bahl’s performance in the NCAA playoffs has been nothing short of extraordinary. She became the **first player in NCAA history** to record at least **20 pitching wins and 20 home runs in the same season** [A](https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/jordy-bahl-is-a-force-in-the-circle-and-at-the-plate-while-leading-nebraskas-ncaa-softball-run/ar-AA1FiSgF?copilot_analytics_metadata=eyJldmVudEluZm9fY2xpY2tEZXN0aW5hdGlvbiI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cubXNuLmNvbVwvZW4tdXNcL3Nwb3J0c1wvbWxiXC9qb3JkeS1iYWhsLWlzLWEtZm9yY2UtaW4tdGhlLWNpcmNsZS1hbmQtYXQtdGhlLXBsYXRlLXdoaWxlLWxlYWRpbmctbmVicmFza2FzLW5jYWEtc29mdGJhbGwtcnVuXC9hci1BQTFGaVNnRiIsImV2ZW50SW5mb19jb252ZXJzYXRpb25JZCI6IkpUVlRjRHNFcG9Ybkhqb1JLcWhXOSIsImV2ZW50SW5mb19jbGlja1NvdXJjZSI6ImNpdGF0aW9uTGluayIsImV2ZW50SW5mb19tZXNzYWdlSWQiOiJSUEFCQXBNV3czcTdydVE0ZHZlbm0ifQ%3D%3D&citationMarker=9F742443-6C92-4C44-BF58-8F5A7C53B6F1). This remarkable dual-threat ability has drawn comparisons to baseball’s Shohei Ohtani, as she excels both in the circle and at the plate [B](https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/baseball/this-college-softball-player-is-drawing-comparisons-to-shohei-ohtani-in-the-ncaa-tournament/ar-AA1Fppp2?copilot_analytics_metadata=eyJldmVudEluZm9fY29udmVyc2F0aW9uSWQiOiJKVFZUY0RzRXBvWG5Iam9SS3FoVzkiLCJldmVudEluZm9fbWVzc2FnZUlkIjoiUlBBQkFwTVd3M3E3cnVRNGR2ZW5tIiwiZXZlbnRJbmZvX2NsaWNrRGVzdGluYXRpb24iOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd3d3Lm1zbi5jb21cL2VuLXVzXC9zcG9ydHNcL2Jhc2ViYWxsXC90aGlzLWNvbGxlZ2Utc29mdGJhbGwtcGxheWVyLWlzLWRyYXdpbmctY29tcGFyaXNvbnMtdG8tc2hvaGVpLW9odGFuaS1pbi10aGUtbmNhYS10b3VybmFtZW50XC9hci1BQTFGcHBwMiIsImV2ZW50SW5mb19jbGlja1NvdXJjZSI6ImNpdGF0aW9uTGluayJ9&citationMarker=9F742443-6C92-4C44-BF58-8F5A7C53B6F1). Her ability to dominate in multiple aspects of the game sets her apart from her peers and showcases her unparalleled skill set.
### Dominance in the Circle
As a pitcher, Bahl has been nearly untouchable. She boasts a **26-6 record** with a **1.50 ERA**, ranking among the top pitchers in the nation [B](https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/baseball/this-college-softball-player-is-drawing-comparisons-to-shohei-ohtani-in-the-ncaa-tournament/ar-AA1Fppp2?copilot_analytics_metadata=eyJldmVudEluZm9fY29udmVyc2F0aW9uSWQiOiJKVFZUY0RzRXBvWG5Iam9SS3FoVzkiLCJldmVudEluZm9fY2xpY2tEZXN0aW5hdGlvbiI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cubXNuLmNvbVwvZW4tdXNcL3Nwb3J0c1wvYmFzZWJhbGxcL3RoaXMtY29sbGVnZS1zb2Z0YmFsbC1wbGF5ZXItaXMtZHJhd2luZy1jb21wYXJpc29ucy10by1zaG9oZWktb2h0YW5pLWluLXRoZS1uY2FhLXRvdXJuYW1lbnRcL2FyLUFBMUZwcHAyIiwiZXZlbnRJbmZvX21lc3NhZ2VJZCI6IlJQQUJBcE1XdzNxN3J1UTRkdmVubSIsImV2ZW50SW5mb19jbGlja1NvdXJjZSI6ImNpdGF0aW9uTGluayJ9&citationMarker=9F742443-6C92-4C44-BF58-8F5A7C53B6F1). Her ability to control the game from the mound has been a key factor in Nebraska’s postseason success. In the Super Regional matchup against Tennessee, Bahl pitched a complete game, allowing just two runs on seven hits while striking out six batters [B](https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/baseball/this-college-softball-player-is-drawing-comparisons-to-shohei-ohtani-in-the-ncaa-tournament/ar-AA1Fppp2?copilot_analytics_metadata=eyJldmVudEluZm9fY29udmVyc2F0aW9uSWQiOiJKVFZUY0RzRXBvWG5Iam9SS3FoVzkiLCJldmVudEluZm9fY2xpY2tEZXN0aW5hdGlvbiI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cubXNuLmNvbVwvZW4tdXNcL3Nwb3J0c1wvYmFzZWJhbGxcL3RoaXMtY29sbGVnZS1zb2Z0YmFsbC1wbGF5ZXItaXMtZHJhd2luZy1jb21wYXJpc29ucy10by1zaG9oZWktb2h0YW5pLWluLXRoZS1uY2FhLXRvdXJuYW1lbnRcL2FyLUFBMUZwcHAyIiwiZXZlbnRJbmZvX21lc3NhZ2VJZCI6IlJQQUJBcE1XdzNxN3J1UTRkdmVubSIsImV2ZW50SW5mb19jbGlja1NvdXJjZSI6ImNpdGF0aW9uTGluayJ9&citationMarker=9F742443-6C92-4C44-BF58-8F5A7C53B6F1). Her composure under pressure and ability to deliver in crucial moments have made her an invaluable asset to the Huskers.
### Power at the Plate
While her pitching has been dominant, Bahl’s offensive prowess has been equally impressive. She ranks **fifth nationally in batting average (.475)** and has hit **23 home runs**, setting a new school record [B](https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/baseball/this-college-softball-player-is-drawing-comparisons-to-shohei-ohtani-in-the-ncaa-tournament/ar-AA1Fppp2?copilot_analytics_metadata=eyJldmVudEluZm9fbWVzc2FnZUlkIjoiUlBBQkFwTVd3M3E3cnVRNGR2ZW5tIiwiZXZlbnRJbmZvX2NsaWNrRGVzdGluYXRpb24iOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd3d3Lm1zbi5jb21cL2VuLXVzXC9zcG9ydHNcL2Jhc2ViYWxsXC90aGlzLWNvbGxlZ2Utc29mdGJhbGwtcGxheWVyLWlzLWRyYXdpbmctY29tcGFyaXNvbnMtdG8tc2hvaGVpLW9odGFuaS1pbi10aGUtbmNhYS10b3VybmFtZW50XC9hci1BQTFGcHBwMiIsImV2ZW50SW5mb19jbGlja1NvdXJjZSI6ImNpdGF0aW9uTGluayIsImV2ZW50SW5mb19jb252ZXJzYXRpb25JZCI6IkpUVlRjRHNFcG9Ybkhqb1JLcWhXOSJ9&citationMarker=9F742443-6C92-4C44-BF58-8F5A7C53B6F1). Her ability to contribute offensively while maintaining her elite pitching status is a rare combination that has propelled Nebraska to new heights. In the NCAA regional games, Bahl homered in each of her first four at-bats, finishing **5-for-5 with seven walks, eight RBIs, and seven runs
