If I counted correctly there are currently 45 on the posted roster. It means 5 would be redshirts (and redshirts can’t get any part of a baseball scholarship as I understand it). They upped the allowed number of players who can be on scholarship BUT didn’t increase the number of scholarships…
quote:
There will be a 40-man limit on roster size for Division I programs during the 2024 baseball season.
Up to 32 student-athletes will be allowed to receive a baseball scholarship – an increase from the normal limit of 27 in Division I.
The additional “counters” (scholarship athletes counting against the team scholarship limit) must be included in the maximum team limit of 11.7 scholarships and must be provided the minimum scholarship value of 25%.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama baseball put together its first practice as a full team on Friday at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The day began indoors for a quick warmup before the team took part in an intrasquad scrimmage.
"The biggest attribute that these guys have outside of their talent is they are men that really like to compete," said head coach Rob Vaughn. "The one thing that I learned about them in the fall is that when you put them in a competitive environment – whether it's against each other or somebody else – they love it, and that's a good place to start.
"We've got to use these next three weeks to continue to get better, to figure some things out and keep growing. I can tell you that on February 16, we're not going to be a finished product, as no team in college baseball will be, but they have some of those intangibles that we really look for, and the DNA of these kids is pretty special."
The Crimson Tide will return to the diamond on Saturday and Sunday to close out the first weekend of practice. Both days are currently scheduled for an 11:30 a.m. CT start followed by a 1 p.m. first pitch for the scrimmage.

Baseball America
quote:
One Sophomore arm I'm extremely excited to watch this spring is LHP Alton Davis II (@AlabamaBSB). Had a strong Freshman season last year and pitched his way to a 5.35 ERA with 32 Ks in 33.2 IP. Was a Freshman All-SEC team selection and earned a Team USA invite.
Extremely long, lanky build at 6'5" and 185-pounds. with an especially lengthy lower-half. Ultra-projectable. Easy delivery that becomes more up-tempo once the hands break. Some natural deception and effort. Davis attacks from a high-three quarter slot with plus arm speed.
Davis' FB sits in the 93-96 range, but will top out at 97/98. Explodes out of the hand and flashes riding life through the zone. Averaged over 16.5" of vert last spring. Most effective, and gets the most swing and miss, when elevated.
Supplements his heater with a low/mid-80s SL. Does a nice job of maintaining his arm speed. Flashes sweeping action with a bit of depth. Generated a 41% miss rate last season while holding opposing hitters to a measly .132 average. Comfortably above average pitch right now, has a chance to eventually be a legit 60. Davis has advanced feel for it as well.
CH and CB are both a work-in-progress. Outstanding mound presence. Will again assume the closer role for the Crimson Tide this season, but he is line to make the jump to the weekend rotation come 2025. Top 5 round upside when he is eligible in '25.
