Today, the Nebraska Cornhuskers Jordy Bahl became the first Big Ten player ever to be named the Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year in the same season.
Three before her won both awards over the course of their careers – Sara Griffin (Michigan), Nikki Nemitz (Michigan) and Sara Groenewegen (Minnesota) - but none in the same season.
Bahl is Nebraska’s first conference player of the year since Peaches James was the Big 12 Player of the Year in 2004 and is the Huskers’ first conference pitcher of the year since Tatum Edwards was the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year in 2013.
