Alabama baseball’s 2025 season came to a heartbreaking close after a narrow 6-5 loss to Southern Miss in the NCAA Tournament Hattiesburg Regional elimination round on May 31. Despite a strong regular season, with the Crimson Tide reaching 40 wins for the first time since 2002, the team was unable to advance past the regional for the second consecutive year.
The game saw Alabama take an early lead, but a late rally by Southern Miss in the eighth inning sealed the Tide’s fate. Key veterans like captain Kade Snell and first baseman Will Hodo have now finished their college careers, while standout pitcher Riley Quick is expected to enter the MLB Draft, potentially ending his time with the program.
As head coach Rob Vaughn looks ahead, the offseason will bring roster changes, including the impact of the new NCAA scholarship model and the incoming 2025 signing class Alabama fans will be watching closely as the Crimson Tide prepare for another run next year, both on the diamond and on the football field.
