Jordy Bahl, the standout pitcher for the Oklahoma Sooners softball team, has announced her decision to transfer to the University of Nebraska. This move comes after two highly successful seasons at Oklahoma, where she helped lead the team to back-to-back national championships. Bahl’s decision is driven by a desire to return home to Nebraska, where she feels a strong connection to her roots and aims to contribute to the growth of softball in the state .
During her tenure at Oklahoma, Bahl compiled an impressive record of 44-2, with a 1.00 ERA and 15 shutouts. She was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2024 Women’s College World Series, showcasing her exceptional skills on the national stage.
While there have been reports of significant NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals in college softball, including a $15 million endorsement deal for Oklahoma’s Kasidi Pickering.
there is no verified information indicating that Bahl rejected a $20 million offer from Oklahoma. Her transfer appears to be motivated by personal reasons rather than financial incentives.
Oklahoma head coach Patty Gasso expressed understanding and support for Bahl’s decision, emphasizing that Bahl will always be a part of the Sooners’ softball family.
