Jordy Bahl to Redshirt 2024 Season Following ACL Injury

Nebraska pitcher Jordy Bahl will miss the remainder of the 2024 season and will redshirt, she announced on Instagram on Tuesday.

Bahl was injured in the Huskers’ season opener against Washington at the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge in Mexico. While completing her follow-through after delivering a pitch, Bahl went to the ground and ultimately exited the game.

“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,” Bahl’s statement read. “With a heart thankful for God’s plan and timing, I will be redshirting 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. I’m truly blessed to have so many wonderful and loving people in my life.

“I’m not going anywhere. See you in 2025. GO BIG RED.”

If ultimately granted a redshirt, Bahl will retain two seasons of eligibility after 2024.

Nebraska head coach Rhonda Revelle issued a statement following Bahl’s announcement: “Obviously, we are all disappointed to hear the news of Jordy’s season-ending knee injury. We are grateful that Jordy is in excellent care with our medical team and are confident in a full recovery. We fully expect that Jordy will be granted a hardship for this season and be back in the jersey for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

“The 2024 season is young, and we are a veteran team with strong leadership that is coming off back-to-back NCAA Regional appearances. We all remain committed to playing an exciting and competitive brand of softball. We look forward to seeing Husker Nation at Bowlin Stadium this season.”
