Multiple Alabama Baseball Players Announce Return for 2025: Roll Call, June 8, 2024
Alabama baseball got some good news on Friday as two important players, Justin Lebron and Riley Quick, announced they would be returning to the Crimson Tide for the 2025 season next year.
Lebron took the SEC by storm as a freshman, being named first team All-SEC and to the All-SEC freshman team as a shortstop after a season where he batted .388 with 12 home runs. He still has one year left before becoming draft eligible, and he’ll be one of the best players in the SEC next season.
Quick, a right-handed pitcher, has his sophomore campaign cut short after needing season-ending surgery back in February. His return bolsters the depth of the Crimson Tide bullpen entering head coach Rob Vaughn’s second year at the helm.
🏅One of the best in the country🏅

June 8, 1960: Former Alabama star Hootie Ingram, an assistant coach at Wake Forest and en route to Tallahassee for a coaching clinic at Florida State, stopped in Tuscaloosa to visit family and friends. When asked if he liked college coaching, Ingram replied, “Yes, but recruiting is a humbling experience.” Ingram noted how he was sent to Pennsylvania and New Jersey on a recruiting trip. “I’d never been there before and it was my first time on a turnpike. I didn’t know when to get off, so I just drove to where it ended, turned back around and headed South.” — Bryant Museum
