Guscette's Eighth-Inning Home Run Lifts Alabama Baseball to Series Win Over No. 5 Vanderbilt (SI)
The Crimson Tide made a statement under interim head coach Jason Jackson — taking down the fifth-ranked Commodores in the weekend series.

What a response by @AlabamaBSB this weekend under some rough circumstances. Jacob McNairy struck out seven and allowed a run in 6 IP in a 2-1 win over No. 5 Vandy to take a crucial home series. Mighty impressive.

One week ago, Mac Guscette collapsed on the field against LSU and had to be carried off.
Today, he hits the go-ahead home run in the rubber match against Vanderbilt.
Words can't describe how remarkable this is.

I am stoked by this win. I am a baseball guy.

Considering the circumstances, this is our biggest series win since...when? Proud of these players. Awesome job this weekend.

Also the first series win against Vandy since 2012

Think you could argue these are the biggest Bama wins since the 2010 Georgia Tech Regional, considering the circumstances.

I know it is pure supposition, but who thinks we win this series with Bo at the helm?

We held them to 7 runs on the weekend which is their lowest in conference. Next lowest was Tennessee with 9 (3, 1, 5).
Pitchers were managed exceptionally well this weekend, especially today.

would be great to get to 500 in SEC play.

Alabama's pitching staff did a helluva job this weekend.

Going 4-2 over the next two weekends would be massive. Lock up a 2 seed against a lower 1 seed and let the boys play.

This is completely different team.

Amazing what the kids can do when the coach isn't trying to throw games, isn't it?

With the pair of home runs bashed Saturday in the win over Vanderbilt, Alabama has now hit 84 long balls this season (48 games), which is the most since 2009, when they hit 107.

Not going to lie, AU has impressed me the last two weeks. Claimed series at South Carolina and beat the #1 LSU tigers. As much chest pounding that LSU has done on the Rant saying they are the best team of all time, it would be hilarious if they didn't even win their division.

Last year’s closer
RHP Dylan Ray (High-A Hillsboro)
Ray was a buy-low prospect that the D-backs selected in the fourth round of last year's draft. His college career was sidetracked by Tommy John surgery just before his freshman season at Alabama, but a solid showing in the Cape Cod League last summer was enough to convince Arizona to take a gamble on him. He ended up signing for full slot with the 108th overall pick, and started his pro career with Low-A Visalia. While he pitched to a 6.59 ERA and allowed 16 hits and five home runs in 11.2 innings, he had a solid 17/4 strikeout to walk ratio.
In 2023, the D-backs promoted him to High-A Hillsboro. In four starts with Hillsboro he has a 3.79 ERA in 16 innings. The ERA is inflated due to a very low strand rate of 60.6%, but his other peripherals are very good. On the season Ray has struck out 28, walked only three, and allowed just two home runs. Opponents are hitting just .186 against him and his K-BB% is above 30% and his 2.75 FIP and 2.29 xFIP suggest his actual run prevention skills are better than his ERA suggests.
Ray's fastball sits in the mid 90s with some late, arm-side run. His best secondary offering is a slider that sits in the mid 80s and offers the most swing-and-miss potential. He's been working on a curveball and a changeup, with the curveball being a serviceable pitch and the changeup needing a lot of work before it's major league quality. He's an option to end up as a #3/4 starter or in the backend of a bullpen, depending on the development of that changeup. Last year, he pitched 56 innings between college, the Cape, and the minors, they'll be monitoring his workload closely.
