The Nebraska softball team just suffered a crushing injury right after the start of the season. Superstar pitcher Jordy Bahl is set to miss the entire 2024 season due to a torn ACL, per Mitch Sherman of The Athletic. Bahl posted a lengthy message on Instagram.

“In game 1 of opening weekend, in Puerto Vallarta, I experienced an injury to my acl that is going to cause me to support the Red Team in a different way than anticipated for the 2024 season. With a heart thankful for God's plan and timing, I will be red shirting this year, and looking forward to a season of growth and learning from a different point of view. I'm thankful for the support of my family, friends, coaches, and staff.”

This is a crushing blow for softball fans everywhere. Last season, Bahl was an absolute sensation for the Oklahoma team as they won the College World Series. After the season came to an end, Bahl transferred to Nebraska and instantly became a celebrity in Omaha.

Jordy Bahl registered an eye-popping 44-2 career record at Oklahoma and had a 0.90 ERA last season. In her first start with Nebraska, Bahl went just 2.1 innings giving up three runs and was tagged with the loss. She easily put Nebraska softball back on the map and the Cornhuskers were expected to do big things this season with her addition.

Now, the Nebraska softball team will have to endure the rest of the 2024 season after losing their superstar player after the first weekend of the season.
