TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama baseball will hold its first full team practice and scrimmage of the spring on Friday, Jan. 26, and will follow with the same schedule for Saturday and Sunday to close out week one of preparations for the 2018 season.
Friday's session will officially start the Tide's full-squad practice slate for the spring leading up to the Feb. 16 season opener with Valparaiso. The team will begin work at 2:30 p.m. CT followed by a five-inning intrasquad scrimmage on Friday evening, which is set for a 4 p.m. first pitch. Alabama will then take part in a pair of short practices followed by a scrimmage on both Saturday and Sunday, with the times for each day to be determined.
All practice times are subject to change depending on weather conditions for the day. Scrimmages are subject to change, while the amount of innings and pitches per game is to be determined as spring practice progresses. Dates and times for the upcoming week of practice and scrimmage can be found on RollTide.com each Monday.
Sewell-Thomas Stadium will be open to fans who wish to watch the practice and scrimmage dates. Fans are asked to enter Sewell-Thomas Stadium through the main gate (Gate 3) located directly behind home plate. Once inside, fans are encouraged to stay in the lower bowl seating area, as access to the upper levels of the stadium is restricted.
