Over the last several years, Alabama baseball has been one of the premier college baseball programs, winning at least 30 games in six straight years (excluding the 2020 Covid year) with a record of 41-18 this season. The reputation for success down in Tuscaloosa has translated to the MLB draft, where they have seen six players selected in each of the last two years. This year, Alabama will send several prospects to the draft, with the top name being RHP Riley Quick.
Quick was recently mocked to the Royals in an article by MLB Pipeline, who has him ranked as their 38th overall prospect.
