Jordy Frahm was already one of the best Nebraska softball players to ever come through Lincoln. After her big reveal on Monday night … well, legendary doesn’t seem to really cover it. The Husker is the standard by which every female athlete who comes through the college sports ranks (not just softball) will be judged for quite some time.
On Monday night, Frahm revealed to the world that she is pregnant, but that’s not what makes her the stuff of legend. The Shohei Ohtani of college softball didn’t just find out she was expecting a baby; she’d known for the last three months. That’s right, one of the best pitchers and hitters in the game was dominating everyone she faced while pregnant for most of the season.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time,” the Nebraska softball superstar said via Instagram. “Our greatest blessing is on the way. Baby Frahm coming December 2026.”
Earlier on Monday, Frahm took some time to say goodbye to college softball. She put together an incredibly accomplished career, also playing for the Oklahoma Sooners. Of course, there was some adversity in her first season back in her native Nebraska due to injury. But when she was healthy, she was routinely dominant both at the plate and in the circle.
Jordy Frahm’s biggest announcement yet, motherhood. ❤️

Congrats to Jordy and Trey, baby Frahm will be coming December 2026.

Jordy Frahm pregnancy reveal adds to Nebraska softball’s all-time great season
“Dear softball, you came into my life when I was just eight years old, and somehow became so much more than a game,” Frahm said in the earlier post. “You awakened something in me: a competitive spirit and a fire to push myself further than I thought I could go. You taught me how to be strong, how to fight through failure, how to test myself mentally, physically, and emotionally. For 15 years, you have shaped me.”
Frahm spent this season as an impressive one-two punch in what was essentially a two-person rotation for the Huskers. She and freshman Alexis Jensen took turns shutting down nearly every opponent.
Frahm went 21-6 as a starter with a 1.37 ERA in 2026. Jensen went 25-2 with a 2.32 earned run average. One reason Nebraska managed to win more than 50 games this year was that in games where Frahm wasn’t starting, she routinely came in to close out Jensen’s games. Frahm led the sport with 12 saves.
Then, of course, Frahm dominated at the plate as well. In 2026, she hit .403 with 20 home runs. All of those numbers came after she went 26-8 with a 1.56 ERA while also hitting an incredible .462 with 23 homers.
This spring, Frahm carried Nebraska to both a regular-season and Big Ten Tournament title, as well as a regional and super regional win. She also pitched 10 innings in the Women’s College World Series opener, knowing she was pregnant. She followed that up by nearly throwing a no-hitter against Texas before eventually fading in the 6th inning. Certainly, that fade can be more than forgiven considering the secret the legendary Nebraska star was keeping while dominating.
