The former Nebraska player, Jordy Frahm, recently revealed that she played her final 2026 softball season while being pregnant. The announcement quickly gained traction on social media, with fans shocked by her ability to deliver the stellar performances in such a sensitive condition.
Frahm concluded her softball collegiate career on May 31, 2026, at Devon Park in Oklahoma City, where the Nebraska Cornhuskers were eliminated from the Women’s College World Series in a tight 3-1 loss to the Texas Longhorns. During this game, she played a significant role, delivering a solo home run to deep center field off Texas pitcher Teagan Kavan.
This run was the Huskers’ only score of the entire showdown and marked her 20th home run of the season. With this home run, she also became the first player in NCAA history to achieve multiple seasons recording 20+ pitching wins and 20+ home runs. After delivering a notable performance in this game, she stunned her fans by announcing that she has been playing in the season despite being three months pregnant.
She announced the news on Instagram with her husband, Trey Frahm, by posting three pairs of cowboy boots, which included a baby-sized pair and a positive pregnancy test. They also posted a picture of the Nebraska Huskers onesie and a sonogram.
ESPN shared this news on X, which drew sweet comments from fans all over the internet. One of the fans said that she raised the bar, writing:
“Jordy Frahm of the Nebraska Cornhuskers hit .403 with a 1.302 OPS, 20 HR, and 51 RBI As a pitcher, she went 21-6 with a 1.37 ERA and 251 Ks. And…she did it all while pregnant. Attention Shohei Ohtani — the bar has been raised.”
Highlighting the accolades she achieved while being pregnant, one of the followers wrote:
“Jordy Frahm won softball’s National Player of the Year while competing pregnant for most of the season. This might be one of the craziest achievements in the history of college sports.”
Calling her announcement an impressive flex, one of the users on X penned a comment that read:
“Jordy announcing her pregnancy a day after her collegiate career ends is such a flex. She’s 1 of 1. The stories she will be able to tell that baby.”
Lauding the player’s abilities, another fan wrote:
“Jordy Freaking Frahm. She pitched and homered in her final game at the WCWS – while pregnant. Incredible human being.”
Along the similar lines, another user chimed in:
“New level of freaking beast unlocked!! Amazing!!!”
Jordy Frahm made her feelings known about her career with the Nebraska softball team
After wrapping up her career on May 31 at the Women’s College World Series, Jordy Frahm sat for a post-match press conference, where she weighed in on her journey with the Nebraska Huskers. Highlighting the roller coaster of her transfer to getting hurt to crediting the girls for the success of the Huskers, she said:
“I would just say the whole journey has been, I mean, not what I expected, obviously, starting out at OU and then transferring back home to Nebraska and getting hurt and all of that, but one thing that we talked about in the locker room, somebody said, Jordy, like thank you for coming home and changing this programme, and I said, I didn’t come home and change this programme. No one person can do that. It was the girls who were already here that absolutely bought into what this programme could do,” said Jordy Frahm.
She further said that God’s grace has always been at this team and all over her career. Revealing that concluding her collegiate career hurts, she added:
“God’s fingerprints were all over this team. It was all, all over my story, all over my career, and I do truly believe that the way today ended is a part of that story as well and the fruits that will come from it later on, you know, are things that will be revealed down the road. It really hurts right now, but just so thankful for the journey and to finish it here with this team.”
