How did we get here?
After a 32-26 season with a 15-15 SEC record in 2016 Alabama baseball coach Mitch Gaspard decided to resign after failing to reach the NCAA Tournament for two straight seasons.
Gaspard was head coach for seven seasons, and had a record of 234-193 overall for the Tide and a 94-114 SEC mark. In 2017 Gaspard, one of the finest gentlemen in the game, is the associate head coach at Kansas State University. Gaspard was 42-25 and one pitch away from the College World Series in his first season, and reached regional play in four out of seven seasons.
