Jordy Frahm and Alexis Jensen each earned recognition from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Wednesday when the organization released its postseason awards. Just one day after being named the 2026 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year, Frahm earned the NFCA Player of the Year Award for the second straight season. She was also a first-team All-American and a Rawlings Gold Glove winner at pitcher. Jensen earned third-team All-America recognition.
The Nebraska natives increased the Huskers’ total to 33 All-America awards in program history. Frahm became the 10th Husker to be a two-time All-American, and she joined Ali Viola as the only two-time first-team All-Americans in program history. Jensen is just the fourth Nebraska freshman to be recognized as an NFCA All-American and the first since Taylor Edwards in 2011.
Frahm is the first athlete to be the back-to-back NFCA Player of the Year since the award was founded in 2016. Her first-team All-America honors solidified her as a four-time first-team All-American – including her two seasons at Oklahoma – as Frahm became only the 14th player in NCAA Softball history to accomplish the feat. Frahm also joined fellow Papillion native Courtney Wallace (2022) as the only Huskers to win a Gold Glove.
The senior helped Nebraska to Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles this season and has aided NU to its eighth overall Women’s College World Series appearance. This season, Frahm leads the Big Red offense with a .416 batting average and 19 home runs. Frahm has added 50 RBI, 11 doubles and 59 runs scored. She has a slugging percentage of .827 and an on-base percentage of .511, for an OPS of 1.338.
In the circle, Frahm is 20-4 with a 1.14 ERA and 12 saves. Her 12 saves have tied the Big Ten single-season record and rank sixth in NCAA history. She has added eight shutouts and has struck out 234 batters and only walked 30. She ranks in the top 10 nationally in ERA (fourth), saves (first), shutouts (fourth), strikeout-to-walk ratio (third), strikeouts (ninth) and WHIP (fifth).
