COLUMBUS, Ohio – Jasmyn Burns’ postseason resume added a significant – and historic – accomplishment on Wednesday afternoon.
Burns was named a first team All-American by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) and in the process joined elite company as she became just the second first team All-American in Ohio State history. Burns joins Anna Smith, who earned her honor 23 years ago in 2002 as an outfielder.
Burns, a sophomore from Menifee, Calif., is also just the third sophomore to earn All-America honors in program history. Lilli Piper (2017) and Sam Marder (2008) are the other two.
Wednesday’s news caps a postseason that saw Burns named a second team All-American by both Softball America and D1Softball. She was also a unanimous first team All-Big Ten honoree and earned first team All-Great Lakes Region honors during a season in which she led the Buckeyes with a .455 batting average, 25 home runs, 1.006 slugging percentage and .540 on-base percentage.
Burns’ 25 home runs set both an Ohio State and Big Ten Conference single-season record. Her 72 RBI were fourth-most in the Big Ten and she was second in the league in OPS (on base percentage + slugging percentage) at 1.546. She had top-10 national rankings in home runs (fourth), home runs per game (sixth – 0.43), slugging percentage (fifth), total bases (fifth – 166) and extra base hits (second – 40).
Burns was also a part of an Ohio State offense that hit a Big Ten-record and nation’s leading 147 home runs in 2025 while leading the country in runs scored (495), runs scored per game (8.25), slugging percentage (.701). Burns had 23 multi-hit games and 18 multi-RBI games over the course of the Buckeyes’ 60-game season, which finished with a 45-14-1 record and appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
The NFCA All-America teams are voted on by the Association’s All-America Committees. In Division I, the committee is composed of one elected member head coach from each of the NFCA’s 10 regions. All student-athletes who were nominated by their member head coach and voted to the first, second or third-team All-Region teams were eligible for All-America consideration.
