Overview
- Frahm announced on Instagram that she is expecting a baby due in December 2026, revealing she played most of her senior season while pregnant and made the disclosure the day after Nebraska was eliminated from the WCWS.
- She finished the season with standout two-way numbers, posting roughly a 1.37 ERA with 251 strikeouts and batting about .403 with 20 home runs, and was named national Player of the Year.
- In Nebraska's WCWS elimination game versus Texas, Frahm hit a first-inning home run and carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before Texas rallied for a 3-1 win to end her collegiate career.
- Frahm was named to USA Softball's 2026 Women's National Team Athlete Pool while not receiving an AUSL Golden Ticket, an omission several outlets described as a surprise for a player of her profile.
- Her decision to play through pregnancy and her on-field prominence boosted Nebraska's program visibility and raises a realistic pathway to return to elite play after childbirth, including possible consideration for Team USA ahead of the 2028 Olympic softball competition.
