The standout freshman has been incredible since first stepping foot in the circle for the Oklahoma Sooners putting together a 21-1 record with a 0.95 ERA, including 199 strikeouts in 132.1 innings pitched. Bahl has allowed a .137 batting average to opponents and just 18 earned runs in 30 appearances.
