LINCOLN, Neb. — Jordy Bahl, the softball pitching star who transferred to Nebraska after winning two straight national championships at Oklahoma, will miss the rest of the season after injuring her knee during the Cornhuskers' opener last week.
Bahl posted on social media that he injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee while throwing against Washington at an event in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on February 8.
“With a grateful heart for God's plan and timing, I will redshirt this year and look forward to a season of growing and learning from a different point of view.” Bahl published Tuesday. “I am grateful for the support of my family, friends, coaches and staff. I feel truly blessed to have so many wonderful, loving people in my life. I am not going anywhere. See you in 2025.”
Bahl will apply for medical benefits for the 2024 season. If granted, he will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
“Obviously, we are all disappointed to hear the news of Jordy's season-ending knee injury,” Nebraska coach Rhonda Revelle said in a statement. “We are grateful that Jordy is receiving excellent care from our medical team and are confident of a full recovery.”
The two-time All-America pitcher shocked the college softball world last June when, just a week after leading Oklahoma to a third straight national championship and being named Most Outstanding Player in the Women's College World Series, she announced she would transfer to the school in his home state.
Bahl grew up in Papillion, a suburb of Omaha, and seriously considered going to Nebraska after high school before choosing the powerful Sooners. She went 44-2, won two national titles and was the Big 12 Pitcher of the Year and a first-team All-American each year.
