Alabama Baseball Preview 2017: Tide Under New Leadership

2016 review

In 2016, Alabama Crimson Tide baseball, after a hot start and being ranked No. 21 at one point, team missed the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row in 2016. The team finished with a 32-26 overall record, and went 15-15 in the SEC. Many felt that a .500 SEC mark would be good enough to receive a bid. A late-season swoon, and a poor showing in Birmingham ultimately undid the Tide, however. After being rejected by the selection committee and amid pressure from many fans, coach Mitch Gaspard chose to resign.
