Jordy Frahm & Alexis Jensen: A Nebraska Softball Legacy in the Making

Celebrating Excellence in Nebraska Softball

In a season filled with anticipation and high expectations, Nebraska two-way star Jordy Frahm has emerged as a beacon of talent and resilience. Following a standout year, she clinched the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Player of the Year Award for the second consecutive season—a feat that solidifies her legacy in collegiate softball.

Exceptional Stats and Unwavering Determination

Frahm's numbers are nothing short of extraordinary. With a batting average of .416, 19 home runs, and 50 RBIs, her offensive contributions have been vital to Nebraska's success this season. Additionally, she has maintained an on-base percentage of .511 and a slugging percentage of .827, showcasing her ability to not just hit but to dominate the plate.

Yet, her prowess does not end there. On the mound, Frahm boasts a stellar record of 20-4 with a remarkable 1.14 ERA and 12 saves. Striking out 234 batters while allowing just 30 walks, she is not just the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year but also ranks prominently in numerous national categories:

• First in Saves: 12 saves
• Third in Strikeout-to-Walk Ratio: 7.80
• Fourth in ERA: 1.14
• Fourth in Shutouts: Eight solo and three combined
• Fifth in WHIP
• Ninth in Strikeouts: 234

Breaking Barriers and Setting Records

Frahm's achievement as the first back-to-back NFCA Player of the Year since the award's inception in 2016 is a testament to her hard work and dedication. Additionally, her recognition as a four-time first-team All-American places her among the elite in NCAA Softball history, being one of only 14 athletes to accomplish this.

A Rising Star: Alexis Jensen

Joining Frahm in this celebration of excellence is freshman pitcher Alexis Jensen, who has been named a third-team All-American—a significant milestone as she becomes the first Nebraska freshman to earn this honor in 15 years. With a record of 25-2 and owning Nebraska's freshman records in wins and strikeouts (217), Jensen has truly made her mark at such an early stage in her career.

Furthermore, being a finalist for the NFCA Freshman of the Year Award is a reflection of her outstanding capabilities on the field. Together, Frahm and Jensen represent a powerful one-two punch for Nebraska Softball—a duo that fans rally behind with unmatched enthusiasm.
