Joe Sewell had a knack for this "funny game."

That knack has made him the only player in Crimson Tide baseball annals to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in the quaint little town of Cooperstown, N.Y.

The only other Crimson Tider in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is New York Yankees legendary broadcaster Mel Allen, who along with Florida alum Red Barber earned induction in 1978 as the inaugural winners of the Ford C. Frick Award.

Inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1977, Sewell's career spanned 14 seasons with the Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees. From the moment he left the Capstone as student body president in 1919, Sewell's major league career was the stuff dreams are made of. After leading the Crimson Tide to the 1919 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship, Sewell was selected by the Indians and signed with the New Orleans team in the Southern Association.

The Titus, Ala., native made his Major League debut with the Indians in the heat of a 1920 pennant drive, after their everyday shortstop was killed after being hit with a submarine pitch. Sewell rose to the challenge and batted .329 over the final 22 games of the season to help the Indians clinch the American League pennant.

Alongside future Hall of Famers Stanley Coveleski, Tris Speaker and Bill Wambsganss, Sewell and the Indians disposed of the Brooklyn Robins in seven games, taking the 1920 series five games to two. Sewell batted only .174 (4-23) in his first trip to the fall classic, but was solid in the field in all seven games, helping the Indians lay claim to the World Series title.

He played 11 years for the Indians before joining the New York Yankees roster for the final three years of his outstanding Major League career.

Sewell once again tasted greatness with Yankees in 1932, when New York beat the Chicago Cubs in the most talked about World Series in history. The Yankees won 107 games in 1932 and swept the Cubs in the best-of-seven fall classic. The Yankees took the first two games at Yankee Stadium (12-6 and 5-2) before moving to Wrigley Field for games three and four.

In game three, Babe Ruth, a teammate and close friend of Sewell, made baseball history. Ruth's fifth inning at-bat off Chicago hurler Charley Root is still the most talked about home run in baseball history.

Ruth earlier had slugged a three-run home run in the first inning and legend has it that, after taking two called strikes in his third at-bat, the Sultan of Swat pointed to center field before he slammed a two-run home run over the head of Johnny Moore. It has become the most debated home run in the history of the fall classic.

The Yankees won the game 7-5 and then closed out the Cubs the following day (13-6) to win the 1932 World Championship. In a lineup filled with Hall of Famers from Frank Crosetti to Bill Dickey to Lou Gehrig to Ruth, Sewell batted .333 (5-15) in the four games with six runs scored and two RBI. He was on base when Ruth slugged his first-inning home run in game three and witnessed the famed "called shot" from the Yankees dugout.

Sewell also was a close friend and roommate with Yankee legend Lou Gehrig, whose career tragically was cut short due to ALS in the 1930s. In 14 Major League seasons, Sewell batted .312 (2,226-7,132) with 1,051 career RBI. He played in nearly 2,000 career games and logged over 7,000 at-bats for the Indians and Yankees. He also had more than 2,000 hits, 1,000 runs scored and 1,000 RBI.

Sewell hit .300 or better in 10 of his 14 seasons in the big leagues. His best season was 1923 when he batted .353 (195-553) with the Indians. He collected a career-high 204 hits with the Indians in 1925 when he posted a .336 (204-608) batting average.

An outstanding fielder, Sewell led the American League in putouts and assists four times in his career and led the league in fielding percentage three times.

A "singles hitter" overshadowed by some the game's greatest sluggers, Sewell set five major league records that continue to pass the test of time: fewest strikeouts in a season (3, two times); consecutive games without a strikeout (115); consecutive at-bats without a strikeout (437); most seasons of 500 or more at-bats with fewer than four strikeouts (4); and fewest career strikeouts (114).

Throughout his sparkling 14-year career at the pinnacle of the baseball profession, Sewell turned in numbers that simply are amazing to the average baseball fan. For instance, his 114 career strikeouts in more than 7,000 career at-bats averages out to one strikeout for every 63 at-bats, and one strikeout in every 16 games played.

And still years later, in 1964 at age 66, Sewell, a Tuscaloosa resident and businessman since his college days, took over the Crimson Tide's baseball program as head coach. In his seven-year tenure, Alabama compiled a 114-99 (.535) record, which included winning the 1968 SEC Championship and a trip to the NCAA District III Playoffs in North Carolina.

Sewell was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 1977, along with Ernie Banks, Martin Dihigo, Pop Lloyd, Al Lopez and Amos Rusie. He is one of 11 Alabama natives to be enshrined in Cooperstown, joining fellow legends Hank Aaron (Mobile), Monte Irvin (Columbia), Heinie Manush (Tuscumbia), Willie Mays (Westfield), Willie McCovey (Mobile), Satchel Paige (Mobile), Ozzie Smith (Mobile), Don Sutton (Clio), Billy Williams (Whistler) and Early Wynn (Hartford).

Sewell died on March 6, 1990, in Mobile, Ala., after a lengthy illness. At the time of his death he was the oldest living baseball Hall of Famer at 91 years of age.

Mel Allen is as much a part of the national pastime as the squeeze play, hot dogs, and pennants flapping in the breeze. And he never played in the big leagues. Instead, he broadcasted the game, and that allowed the fans to play the games over and over in their minds. His voice is the one that millions of fans associate with the game of baseball.

Born Melvin Allen Israel, the son of a traveling textile representative in Birmingham, and raised all over Alabama, he was a spindly student manager for the Crimson Tide football and baseball teams when he received his chance to announce games. Allen's first assignment behind the microphone was doing play-by-play of a football game between Tulane and Alabama, his beloved alma mater.

While a student at Alabama, Allen sold shoes, coached speech and debate, and ultimately earned his law degree before winning an audition to announce in New York for CBS Radio. After the audition with CBS in 1936, Allen broadcast his first World Series for the network in 1938. He joined the Yankees the following year and stayed for 25 more, delighting millions of baseball fans with his warm sign-on – "Hello, everybody!" – and his trademark phrases "How about that!" and "Going, going, gone!"

Allen was the voice of the New York Yankees from 1939 to 1964, covering the team that aroused more passion than any other in baseball. With his vivid phrases and pleasing Alabama drawl, he called many of the great events in the game: the Babe's good-bye, Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Mantle's heroics, Maris' record-shattering summer (1961), Casey's barbs and Yogi's convoluted pronouncements.

"Mel Allen meant as much to Yankee tradition as legends like Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle," Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said. "He was the voice of the Yankees."

In an era before television, millions of radio listeners around the nation envisioned the game through the descriptions of this thoughtful and articulate Alabamian who prided himself on being both a reporter and storyteller.

Allen later moved to the Milwaukee Braves in 1965, went on to broadcast for the Cleveland Indians and handled a variety of assignments for NBC. He returned as the voice of the New York Yankees in 1970s and began a 19-year association with This Week in Baseball as host of the popular television program.

In his 58 years of sports broadcasting, Allen did it all. He called thousands of Yankees games, 24 Major League Baseball World Series, 20 All-Star Games, 14 Rose Bowls, five Orange Bowls, two Sugar Bowls, and more than 2,000 newsreels.

A winner of numerous industry, listener and viewer awards, Allen is a member of National Baseball Hall of Fame (as the first Ford C. Frick winner in 1978), National (USA) Sportswriters and Broadcasters Hall of Fame (1972), the American Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame (1985), the Radio Hall of Fame (1988), the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, the University of Alabama Communication Hall of Fame (1995) and was enshrined to Monument Park at Yankee Stadium (July 25, 1999).

Decades ago, Allen sat next to a weakened Lou Gehrig in the dugout before a game. Gehrig soon would die from the disease that forced his emotional, early farewell from the game.

"Mel, sometimes your descriptions of the game are the only thing that keeps me going," Gehrig said.

Allen went into the tunnel and cried like a baby.

How about that?

Never before or since has an Alabama baseball player had a season at the plate like David Magadan did in 1983.

The Alabama junior shattered school and Southeastern Conference records that still stand today in becoming the 1983 Golden Spikes Award winner, presented annually by USA Baseball.

Magadan, who concluded the 1983 season with six school career records (at-bats, runs, hits, RBI, doubles, total bases and batting average), was a major contributor in Alabama's national runner-up spot to Texas at the College World Series. He paced the Crimson Tide to winning the NCAA South Regional and Southeastern Conference titles en route to a 46-11 record, one the most successful campaigns in school history.

After batting an incredible nation-leading .525 (114-217) as a junior, Magadan was voted the 1983 College "Player of the Year" by Baseball America and he also led the team in hits (114), doubles (31), total bases (180) and slugging percentage (.829) during his record-setting campaign.

Magadan was a consensus first team All-America selection by the American Baseball Coaches Association, the Sporting News, Baseball America and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association during the 1983 season and was a three-time All-SEC selection at the Capstone.

Two years earlier, Magadan hit safely in his initial 27 games as a freshman in 1981 and as a junior, went an incredible 10-for-11 (.909) at the 1983 SEC Tournament in Starkville, Miss., which included a five-hit game (2 doubles, 2 HRs) against Florida, en route to being named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament. He also set the CWS record by hitting safely in his first eight trips to the plate and wound up batting .550 (11-20) at Omaha in five games.

After his freshman season at Alabama, Magadan led his American Legion team to the 1981 American Legion World Series title and was named the "Sports Club Amateur of the Year" when Tampa Post 248 won the national title. Magadan also is recognized in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum for his amateur accomplishments in 1981.

The Tampa native played in 162 games during his Alabama career and batted .439 (268-610) with 64 doubles, 14 home runs and 188 RBI. His .439 batting average still ranks among the leaders in Division I baseball and remains atop the SEC record books as the highest career average in league history.

Magadan still holds Alabama records for single-season batting average (.525, 1983), career batting average (.439, 1981-83), single-season hits (114, 1983), single season doubles (31, 1983) and single-season RBI (95, 1983). He also set the Alabama standards for highest batting average for a freshman (.399, 1981) and junior (.525, 1983) and most RBI (95, 1983) by a junior and shares the single-game record with five hits, a feat he accomplished an Alabama record three times against Alabama Christian (April 16, 1983), Florida (May 13, 1983) and Arizona State (June 4, 1983).

First drafted by the Boston Red Sox out of Tampa's Jesuit High School, Magadan then was one of six Alabama players selected in the 1983 MLB Draft. He signed with the New York Mets and was assigned to the Columbia, S.C. Mets in the class A South Atlantic League in his first pro ball assignment. In that first summer, Magadan batted .336 with three home runs and 32 RBI.

Magadan made his Major League debut for the Mets against the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 17, 1986, as the starting first baseman at Shea Stadium. In the game, he went 3-for-4 with two RBI, including the game-winner in the eighth inning that clinched the National League Eastern Division title for the eventual world champions.

In 1990, Magadan finished third in the National League batting race with a career-best .328 (148-451) average. He played 16 years in the Major Leagues before retiring from the game after the 2001 season. In those 16 seasons, Magadan hit .288 (1,197-4,159) with 42 home runs and 495 RBI in 1,582 career big-league games.

After his playing days, Magadan was named the roving minor league hitting instructor by the San Diego Padres, before being promoted as the big-league hitting coach prior to the 2003 season. After four seasons with the Padres, Magadan was named the hitting coach for the Boston Red Sox in 2007. After working six years in Boston, Magadan began working as the hitting instructor for the Texas Rangers in 2013, a title that he maintained through the 2015 Major League Baseball season. In the fall of 2015, Magadan became the hitting coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks through the 2018 campaign. He was then hired by the Colorado Rockies to be their hitting coach in the winter of 2018, a title which he held through the 2022 season.

In June of 2010, Magadan joined former Alabama All-American and head coach Joe Sewell as the only Tide players to be inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame. In 2014, he was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, joining fellow Alabama Crimson Tide representatives Eli Gold and Major Ogilvie. In the fall of 2015, the .525 Club at the newly renovated Sewell-Thomas Stadium was named in honor of his average during Magadan's historic 1983 season. Magadan was in attendance for the Crimson Tide's first ever alumni event, in which the room was officially opened.

Andy Phillips is one of the most decorated players in the history of Alabama baseball.

A member of coach Jim Wells' first signing class, Philips rewrote the Alabama record books and, in the process, took the Crimson Tide baseball program to new heights with three trips to the College World Series in his four-year career.

That impact was not limited to the Crimson Tide baseball family, as his talents were recognized nationally by writers, broadcasters and professional scouts.

A consensus All-America selection as a senior, Phillips was named the 1999 National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association District III Player of the Year and finished runner up to Baylor's Jason Jennings for the 1999 Dick Howser Trophy, presented by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association to the best player in college baseball.

Florida State's Marshall McDougal, Cal State Fullerton's Spencer Oborn and Rice's Mario Ramos also were finalists for the Howser Trophy, named for the former Florida State infielder and Kansas City Royals manager.

Phillips also was named first team All-American by the NCBWA as well as being a member of the 1999 NCBWA Super All-American squad.

In addition to the NCBWA honors, Phillips was named first team All-American by College Baseball Insider and was a third team All-America selection by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball and the American Baseball Coaches Association.

The Demopolis, Ala., native wrapped up his Alabama career as the school record-holder in eight career statistical categories, including most games played (244), games started (224), at-bats (905), runs scored (222), total hits (322), home runs (61), RBI (224) and total bases (590). He also ranked second in career doubles (63) and triples (11) and was third in assists (537) and 10th in walks (86) when his career was complete.

As a senior in 1999, Phillips set the standard of excellence for Crimson Tide baseball. He played in 64 games and batted .398 (103-259) with 22 home runs and 66 RBI. He added 71 runs scored, 22 doubles, 30 walks and 16 stolen bases for an Alabama team that captured the SEC Tournament Championship and finished third at the College World Series.

Phillips also set Alabama single-season records for total bases (203) and collected the most home runs (22) and RBI (66) by a shortstop at Alabama.

The former Tide shortstop also set the SEC record with a 36-game hitting streak during his final season at Alabama, breaking the old standard of 33 games set by LSU second baseman Todd Walker (1993). During his record-setting hitting streak, Phillips batted .407 (66-162) with 17 home runs and 45 RBI.

In 1998, Phillips was named the Sporting News National Player of the Week (April 1, 1998), after hitting .500 (8-16) with six runs scored, three home runs and 11 RBI in wins over Southern Miss and Mississippi State.

Phillips was just as successful off the field, earning his degree from Alabama in 1999, while being an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is an accomplished singer. Twice during his career, Phillips sang the National Anthem prior to a Crimson Tide home game at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. A three-time All-SEC selection, Phillips also was named to the 1999 SEC Good Works Team for his many hours of community service.

Following an 11-year professional baseball career, which included five seasons in Major League Baseball, Phillips returned to Alabama as the hitting and infield coach, beginning with the 2011 season and ending in 2016 after head coach Mitch Gaspard's retirement.

Phillips' MLB debut came in 2004 for the New York Yankees, and he homered on the first pitch he saw as a Major League player. He played for the Yankees from 2004- 07, before playing his final season in the majors with the Cincinnati Reds in 2008. Prior to returning to Alabama, he played two seasons in the Nippon Professional League in Japan.

The most decorated catcher in University of Alabama baseball history, Jeremy Brown was named the winner of the 2002 Johnny Bench Award, presented annually by the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission to the nation's best catcher.

"The Greater Wichita Sports Commission would like to congratulate all of the award finalists and especially Jeremy Brown, the 2002 Johnny Bench National Collegiate Catcher of the Year," Bob Hanson, President and CEO of the Greater Wichita Sports Commission, said. "Jeremy represents The University of Alabama in a remarkable manner."

Brown edged out Southern Cal junior Alberto Concepcion and University of Houston junior Chris Snyder to win the 2002 award.

Brown said upon receiving the 2002 Johnny Bench Award, "I'd like to thank my family and my coaches for all of their support over the past four years. It's truly an honor to receive this award from the best catcher of all time, Mr. Johnny Bench."

It is the highest honor awarded to an Alabama baseball player since David Magadan earned the 1983 Golden Spikes Award, presented annually to the best player in college baseball. The Golden Spikes award is the baseball equivalent to college football's Heisman Trophy award.

Bench, a native of Oklahoma City, and Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, was on hand to present the award to Brown. Bench was the starting catcher for the Cincinnati Reds' back-to-back World Series championship teams in 1975 and 1976.

Former Los Angeles Dodger first baseman Steve Garvey delivered the keynote address to more than 350 people in attendance at the Grand Eagle Ballroom at the downtown Wichita Hyatt Regency hotel. The banquet recognizes the achievements and dedication of local youth, high school, college and professional coaches in the Wichita area. Alabama head coach Jim Wells was also in attendance to see his All- American catcher receive the award.

A two-year starter behind the plate for Alabama, Brown was a runner-up to Baylor's Kelly Shoppach in the 2001 Johnny Bench Award voting. Brown is one of five Southeastern Conference catchers to win the Johnny Bench Award, joining LSU's Brad Cresse, who won the inaugural award in 2000, Mississippi State's Ed Easley in 2007, Florida's Mike Zunino in 2012 and Ole Miss' Stuart Turner the following year in 2013.

A native of Hueytown, Ala., Brown appeared in 66 games for Alabama as a senior and hit a .320 average (70-219) with 11 home runs and 64 RBI. He also set the Alabama single-season record with 69 walks, surpassing the previous total of 66 walks held by Bret Elbin in 1983.

Brown made only one error for Alabama in his final 119 games at the Capstone. He set the Tide single-season record with a 1.000 fielding percentage in 2001 and made only one error in 2002.

Brown was second in the SEC with seven pickoffs and ranked among the league leaders by throwing out 43 percent of his attempted base stealers.

A first-round pick of the Oakland Athletics, Brown concluded his career at Alabama as the all-time leader for games played (251), games started (251), runs scored (244), walks (207) and putouts (1,660). He still remains as the only player in SEC history to collect 300 career hits (307) and 200 career walks (207).

Named a 2002 second team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, Brown also was a first team All-SEC pick for the second consecutive year. He was also chosen as the District III Player of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and was a finalist for the 2002 Dick Howser Trophy, presented by the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce and Verizon.

Beau Hearod went where few University of Alabama players had gone before. The slugger from Jennings, La., had a phenomenal 2003 season and in the process led the Southeastern Conference in both home runs (20) and RBI (82) in his final campaign with the Crimson Tide.

A first team All-SEC selection, Hearod became the first Alabama player to lead the SEC in home runs since Doug Duke smacked a league-leading 27 four-baggers as a junior in 1986. Hearod became the fourth player in school history to lead the league in home runs, joining Stan Moss (7, 1968), Butch Hobson (13, 1973) and Duke (1986) as the league's home run champ. Hearod also was the first Crimson Tide slugger to lead the league in RBI since Duke's league-best 82 in 1986.

After putting up those staggering numbers during the rugged 62-game season, which included 34 games against SEC teams, Hearod was tabbed as the District III Player of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, marking the second consecutive year and the third time since the inception of the award in 1999 that an Alabama player was bestowed the top in District III.

Former Alabama catcher Jeremy Brown, a first-round selection by the Oakland Athletics in 2002 MLB Draft and the 2002 Johnny Bench award winner, was named the 2002 District III Player of the Year following an outstanding senior season. Andy Phillips, the school's all-time home runs leader, won the inaugural District III Player of the Year award in 1999 and was one of the three finalists for the prestigious Dick Howser Trophy, presented to the NCBWA Player of the Year.

Other 2003 district winners included Boston College pitcher Chris Lambert (District I), St. John's outfielder Mike Rozema (District II), South Carolina lefty David Marchbanks (District IV), Ohio State pitcher Scott Lewis (District V), Nebraska first baseman Matt Hooper (District VI), Tulane first baseman and left hand pitcher Michael Aubrey (District VII) Southern University shortstop Rickie Weeks (District VII), New Mexico first baseman Billy Belcher (District VIII) and Arizona State shortstop Dustin Pedroia (District IX).

From the ranks of these 10 District winners, Southern University's Rickie Weeks was named the winner of the 2003 Dick Howser Trophy. As a senior, Hearod started all 62 games and batted .346 (80-231) with 20 home runs and 82 RBI. He was also named the Most Valuable Player of the 2003 SEC Tournament at the Hoover Met, leading the Crimson Tide to its second straight postseason title and sixth under coach Jim Wells.

Hearod ranked ninth nationally in home runs (20) and 17th nationally with 0.32 home runs per game. He was sixth in total RBI and ninth with 1.32 RBI per game. He also led the SEC and ranked 27th nationally with a whopping .719 slugging percentage.

In his three-year career with Alabama, Hearod played in 177 games and batted .327 (210-643) with 40 home runs and 191 RBI. He also totaled 141 runs scored, 43 doubles, five triples, 61 walks and a .595 career slugging mark.

He wrapped up his Alabama career with five grand slams, one shy of the school, SEC and NCAA record set by the Tide's Mike Pitisci in 1984.

Wade LeBlanc had a freshman season like no other in the 100-plus year history of The University of Alabama baseball program.

The talented freshman left-hander racked up just about every postseason award available as he became the first rookie in Crimson Tide baseball history to earn National and SEC Freshman of the Year honors.

LeBlanc was tabbed the 2004 National Freshman of the Year by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper after being named the 2004 SEC Freshman of the Year at the conclusion of the regular season.

LeBlanc's turning point in the season was the back-to-back wins against No. 6 LSU and 10th-ranked Florida in early May. He beat LSU, 8-2, on May 1 in Baton Rouge and then shut out the high-powered Gators in Tuscaloosa on May 7, allowing only four hits and striking out nine batters.

"I guess the LSU and Florida games back-to-back really told me what kind of season I was having," LeBlanc said. "This whole season was crazy. I never thought I would have a year like this and be named National and SEC Freshman of the Year. This is a great honor."

LeBlanc finished his outstanding freshman season by setting Alabama freshman records for innings pitched (112.2), strikeouts (98) and complete games (8) while tying the Alabama freshman record with eight wins.

In 16 games, including 15 starts, LeBlanc posted an 8-4 record and 2.08 ERA. He worked 112.2 innings and allowed 87 hits, 37 runs and 26 earned runs, with 26 walks and 98 strikeouts. LeBlanc also threw eight complete games and pitched three shutouts in 2004.

In addition to his freshman records, LeBlanc also ranks among the school's top 10 single-season leaders in several categories. His eight complete games tied Gene Lary (1955) for second place on the school's single-season list. The three shutouts matched Mike Innes (1968) and Drew Blocker (1974) for third-place on the single- season shutout charts. LeBlanc's 112.2 innings pitched tied Dean Hayes (1983) for seventh place on the single-season innings, while the 98 strikeouts tied Jarrod Kingrey (1998) and Steve Shoemaker (1994) for 10th place in Alabama history.

LeBlanc was tabbed a third team All-American by both the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) and Baseball America. He was the only freshman named to the 2004 Baseball America All-America team. LeBlanc also was named to the 2004 SEC All-Freshman team and was a second team All-SEC selection as voted on by the league's 12 head coaches.

SEBaseball.com selected him as the 2004 SEC Freshman of the Year as well as a first team All-SEC honoree. He also was selected to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) All-South Region team.

LeBlanc was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the second round of the 2006 MLB Amateur Draft. He made his Major League debut on Sept. 8, 2008 for the Padres. He went on to play for multiple teams throughout his 13-year career, spending four seasons with San Diego (2008-11) in addition to seeing time with the Miami Marlins (2012-13), Houston Astros (2013), Los Angeles Angels (2014), New York Yankees (2014), Seattle Mariners (2016, 2018-19), Pittsburgh Pirates (2016-17, Baltimore Orioles (2020-21) and St. Louis Cardinals (2021).

He officially announced his retirement from baseball prior to the start of the 2022 campaign. LeBlanc owned a career 46-49 record with a 4.54 ERA (470 ER/931.1 IP). He made 258 appearances with 129 starts while striking out 671 batters as a pro.

Alabama right fielder Kent Matthes wrapped up a remarkable senior season by winning Southeastern Conference Player of the Year honors and being tabbed a consensus All-American. Matthes is the first Alabama player to win SEC Player of the Year honors since the league began presenting the award in 1993.

"Kent Matthes had a great year and deserves this honor," former Alabama head coach Jim Wells said. "It has been great to sit in the dugout and watch him do the things he has done this year. He has had a great year and put up some incredible numbers. You read sometimes about guys having years like this, but he usually isn't on your team. This year we have that player, and it has been fun watching him on and off the field."

Matthes was also named first team All-American by every baseball publication, including the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), Rivals and PING.

"It is a great honor to be recognized by the best college baseball league with all the talented players we have in the SEC," Matthes said. "It is an honor to be named SEC Player of the Year and to be able to accomplish the feat as a senior. This has been an incredible season and I am happy to be a part of this team.

"I was looking to take advantage of my senior year and make the most of it," said Matthes. "I worked hard in the offseason with Dax (Norris), got hot early, hit a lot of home runs and they kept coming. I tried to stay focused on winning each game and not the stats."

The senior was named the 2009 NCBWA District III Player of the Year, was a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award, a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy and a member of the ABCA All-South Region team. The Orlando, Fla., native hit .358 with 28 home runs and 81 RBI for the Crimson Tide. He led the SEC in home runs, RBI, total bases (174) and slugging percentage (.883). He was also third in runs scored (65) and sixth in hitting.

Matthes set the Alabama single-season record with 28 home runs, which tied for the national home run lead with Middle Tennessee State's Bryce Brentz. Matthes is the fifth NCAA statistical national champion in school history. He broke the Alabama single-season home run record with his 28th home run against South Carolina on May 20 at the SEC Tournament. He slugged his 27th home run of the season in the Tide's regular-season finale at Auburn on May 16 to tie Doug Duke's record set in 1986.

The 2009 home run barrage from Matthes included four multi-home run games and one walkoff home run while 16 of his 28 home runs tied the game or gave Alabama the lead (10 go-ahead home runs). He also had nine game- winning RBI in 2009.

Matthes set the Alabama record with a home run in six straight games and twice was named National and SEC Player of the Week. He hit for the cycle on Feb. 24 against Nicholls State and followed with a walkoff 10th inning home run the next day.

Drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the fourth round of the 2009 MLB Amateur Draft, Matthes was named the 2011 California League's Most Valuable Player for the Class A Modesto Nuts after an outstanding season at the plate. He finished the 2011 season with a .334 average, 23 home runs, 39 doubles and 95 RBI.

Matthes spent the 2012 season in Double-A, playing for the Tulsa Drillers where he hit .214 with 17 home runs, 18 doubles and 40 RBI. In 2013, Matthes opened the year in Tulsa, before being called up to Triple-A Colorado Springs for the final 47 games of the season. With the Triple-A Sky Sox, Matthes hit .297 with 11 home runs and 31 RBI.

After being claimed off waivers by the Oakland A's, the former Tide standout spent 2014 split between Double-A Midland and Triple-A Sacramento where he hit .232 (92-396) with 26 doubles, 16 home runs and 72 RBI while adding 57 runs.

Despite a shortened season, Connor Prielipp put together one of the most impressive performances over the first month of a career in the history of The University of Alabama baseball program.

The freshman left-hander showed promise through his first Fall on campus. That early success translated across the Spring and eventually into the regular season. Prielipp cruised through the first month of game action, going 3-0 with a perfect 0.00 ERA across 21.0 innings of work. He did not allow a run and gave up just five hits while limiting opposing hitters to a lowly .077 average. Prielipp also issued six walks compared to an impressive 35 strikeouts, a total that led Alabama. He was set to make his first career start in Southeastern Conference play on Friday, March 13, but the season came to an abrupt halt one day prior. Along with all other winter and spring sports, the 2020 baseball season was eventually canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Once the final stats were compiled, Prielipp's numbers became that much more impressive. He finished as one of only eight arms in Division I baseball with a perfect 0.00 ERA (minimum 15.0 IP). Prielipp was also atop the league-low columns for opponent batting average along with hits and runs allowed, while ranking third in the SEC for strikeouts.

Prielipp's outstanding start got the attention of numerous national outlets, including postseason All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. He was selected as a first team All-American by CBN, making him the 16th first team All-American in Alabama history and the only freshman to ever be named to an All- America first team in Crimson Tide annals.

In addition to his first-team accolades, CBN also selected Prielipp as a Freshman All-American and named him as one of its four National Freshman of the Year honorees, pairing him with Wade LeBlanc as the only two freshmen in UA history to earn the prestigious recognition.

The accolades would keep coming, as D1Baseball.com named Prielipp its 'Top Freshman Pitcher' while Perfect Game USA labeled the Tomah, Wis., native as its 'Impact Freshman of the Year'.

Prielipp returned for the 2021 season with high expectations and multiple preseason All-America bids. Unfortunately, those expectations would never be realized as Prielipp suffered an injury early on that limited his play for the remainder of the season. He tossed just 7.0 innings across three starts as a sophomore before having season-ending surgery that May. He spent the 2022 campaign rehabbing from injury and did not pitch again for the Crimson Tide.

Jason Jackson seated at the 2023 American Baseball Coaches Association/Marines Assistant Coach of the Year for Division I induction Jason Jackson was selected as the 2023 American Baseball Coaches Association/Marines Assistant Coach of the Year for Division I. Jackson was officially hired on June 13, 2017, to serve as the Crimson Tide's pitching coach, a role that he held until May 2023.

That May, Jackson was elevated to interim head coach. He took over a baseball team that was 30-15 overall and 9-12 in Southeastern Conference play. His guidance in turbulent times propelled the Crimson Tide to a 13-6 mark to close out the year, one that resulted in an NCAA Super Regional berth for the first time since 2014.

Jason Jackson walking along the fenceline Prior to the Super Regional, Jackson and Tide hosted an NCAA Regional at Sewell-Thomas Stadium, a first since 2006. The Tuscaloosa Regional saw Alabama go 3-0, including a walkoff win over Nicholls followed by a win against Troy in game two. The victory over the Trojans came down to the final out for the visiting Tide. An error extended the game, with UA piling up four runs in the ninth to secure an eventual 11-8 win and a spot in the Regional finals against then-No, 24 Boston College. Following an extended rain delay, the Crimson Tide came away with an impressive 8-0 shutout victory over the Golden Eagles in a game that extended into the early hours of Monday morning.

Alabama earned its host bid thanks to a 2-2 showing at the Southeastern Conference Tournament. The Tide's time in Hoover was highlighted by a 4-0 win over then-No. 25 Kentucky in Tuesday's elimination round followed by a 7-4 victory over then-No. 19 Auburn two days later. The impressive resume secured the Crimson Tide the No. 16 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Before Jackson righted the ship in May, the Tide was set to potentially miss the SEC Tournament. However, under his guidance as head coach, Alabama won series over then-No. 5 Vanderbilt, at Texas A&M and over Ole Miss with UA sweeping the Rebels to close out the regular season on a five-game winning streak.

Outside of his accomplishments as interim head coach, Jackson led the 2023 pitching staff to one of the best years in program history. His arms finished with a 4.26 ERA and 593 strikeouts compared to only 236 walks while limiting the opposition to a lowly .233 mark. The '23 staff matched the 1999 squad for the program's single season strikeout record while averaging 9.27 strikeouts per game compared to the 8.59 mark in '99. Jackson's 2023 pitching staff also recorded seven shutouts to tie for the second-most in a single season by any team in Tide baseball history.

Alabama finished 2023 third in the SEC in ERA, WHIP and walks per 9.0 innings while ranking fourth in hits allowed per 9.0 innings, strikeout-to-walk ratio and shutouts. During league play, Alabama owned the lowest ERA and average against while also allowing the fewest runs, earned runs and hits.

Following the completion of the 2023 season, Jackson was retained on staff to handle the pitchers while being named Associate Head Coach to begin in 2024.

Jim Wells at the podium at the Hall of Fame induction Jim Wells was officially inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in January of 2024 as part of the organization's newest class.

One of the top baseball minds in Southeastern Conference and college baseball history, Wells finished his career with an 817-411 (.665) mark across 20 seasons split between Northwestern State and Alabama. During his career as a head coach, Wells' teams posted four separate 50-win seasons and 12 40-win campaigns.

His biggest impact in the coaching realm came during his time at Alabama where he was a two-time SEC Coach of the Year (1996, 2002). Wells' tenure at UA began on June 4, 1994, and spanned 15 seasons from 1995-2009. He maintained a 625-322 (.660) career record in Tuscaloosa and finished as the all-time winningest coach in Alabama history with his 625 victories, including a program-best 259 in SEC play.

Under Wells' direction, Alabama earned three of the program's five berths in the College World Series, helping the Tide advance to Omaha in 1996, 1997 and 1999. In addition to his three CWS appearances, Wells guided his squads to an NCAA Regional appearance in 12 total seasons.

The Crimson Tide claimed three SEC Western Division titles in 1996, 2002 and 2006 while also securing the league's regular season titles in '96 and '06. Alabama also collected six SEC Tournament championships with three straight from 1995-97, followed by one in 1999, before the final two from 2002-03. Wells' six SEC Tournament titles are tied with Skip Bertman and Paul Mainieri of LSU for the most in the history of the conference.

In Wells' first season at the Capstone, the Tide posted a 42-23 mark and earned its first national ranking since 1991. His 42 wins were the most by a first-year head coach at Alabama while his .646 winning percentage finished as the second-best mark by a first-year skipper at the time. The Tide followed that year with an SEC Championship in 1996, the program's first since 1983 and first regular-season title since 1968.

The 1997 season saw Wells' group finish as the national runner-up in Omaha, tallying a program-high 56 wins. For his efforts, Wells was named the 1997 Baseball America National Coach of the Year. A year later, the Tide went 46-18 overall before a 53-16 mark in 1999 en route to a No. 4 national ranking at year's end. Alabama set or tied 34 school records in '99 to earn Wells ABCA South Region Coach of the Year recognition.

His 2000 team went 41-24 before a 32-23 mark in 2001 broke the Tide's streak of seven straight NCAA Regional appearances. The 2002 group posted a 51-15 record, the fourth 50-win season under Wells, before a 38-24 finish in 2003. After missing NCAA Regionals in 2004, the 2005 group won 40 games followed by a 44-win effort in 2006 that finished in NCAA Super Regional play. Alabama would make an NCAA Regional in both 2008 and 2009 before Wells' retirement from Division I collegiate baseball.

Before his storied career in Tuscaloosa, Wells compiled an impressive 192-89 (.683) mark at his alma mater, Northwestern State, from 1990-94. He was named the Louisiana Sportswriters Association Coach of the Year in 1994, earned Southland Coach of the Year honors three times and finished his career at NSU as the Demons' all-time winningest coach.

Prior to his time at Northwestern State, Wells spent three years as a graduate assistant at LSU. His time in Baton Rouge saw the Tigers go 143-57 (.715) and finish with two NCAA Regional titles in 1987 and 1989. Wells got his start in coaching at Loyola Prep High School from 1982-86 where he served as head coach.

Wells earned his bachelor's degree in physical education from NSU in 1980 before securing a master's in education and administration from LSU in 1989.

In addition to his ABCA Hall of Fame honor, Wells was also inducted into the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in January of 2009. Prior to that, the Louisiana native was inducted into the Northwestern State Hall of Fame in 2003 when the Demons also retired his No. 17 jersey during that season.
