Ashton Crowther is giving Alabama a legit late-inning lefty look
In the 2026 season, Ashton Crowther has given Alabama a useful power-lefty arm out of the bullpen, including a 2.1-inning, scoreless outing for his first Crimson Tide win and other solid relief work in high-leverage spots. He’s a 6-foot-3, 215-pound redshirt junior from Trinity, Florida, who brings SEC experience from South Carolina and Miami, plus a track record of limiting damage with a strikeout-to-walk profile that suggests real command upside. The hook here: he looks like the kind of competitive, versatile transfer who can help a staff when the pressure rises.
