One day after being named the 2026 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year, Nebraska two-way star Jordy Frahm won the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Player of the Year Award for the second consecutive season.
The Papillion, Nebraska, native is hitting .416 with 19 home runs and 50 RBI. She has an on-base percentage of .511 and a slugging percentage of .827.
In the circle, Frahm is 20-4 with a 1.14 ERA and 12 saves. She has struck out 234 batters so far this season while only walking 30. The Big Ten Pitcher of the Year ranks in the top ten nationally in saves (first – 12 saves), strikeout-to-walk ratio (third – 7.80), ERA (fourth – 1.14), shutouts (fourth – eight solo/three combined), WHIP (fifth) and strikeouts (ninth – 234).
She is the first athlete to be the back-to-back NFCA Player of the Year since the award was founded in 2016. She is also a four-time first-team All-American and is only the 14th player in NCAA Softball history to accomplish the feat.
Frahm was named an All-American alongside freshman pitcher Alexis Jensen, who was named a third-team All-American. She is the first Nebraska feshman to be named an All-American in 15 years.
Jensen is 25-2 and owns Nebraska freshman records in wins (25) and strikeouts (217). She leads all freshmen in wins and strikeouts and was a finalist for the NFCA Freshman of the Year award.
