Can anybody please verify these stats?

  • In > 20 innings of relief pitching at OU, Jordy Bahl never gave up an earned run

  • In all innings pitched in college softball, Jordy Bahl had a less than .040 ERA WRISP

I'd appreciate the help! I don't have a computer anymore

Her ERA in relief at OU was 0.45. But she did pitch 28.1 innings in relief in 2023 with 0 earned runs. I don't have access to the other stat, I'd assume you'd have to pay for some advanced play by play data for that.

Can you really tell relief from this? I ask because I know in softball, starters can reenter but I'm not sure how that's necessarily classified.

For example, in 2022, Oklahoma played Tennessee, and Bahl started. Then May was brought in for maybe an inning or two, and then Bahl reentered the game. Bahl then gave up a couple of runs. Is she considered a "relief" role at that point? Or is it that she was the starter, and she is not considered to be in relief when she reenters?

If you know -- thanks in advance. I thought about this before and maybe even asked a scorekeeper friend and he wasn't sure.

That’s a good point. I guess the stat would better be phrased as “games she didn’t start”. I would assume she would still be in a relief role if she re-entered but I’m not entirely sure. Good catch
