Keith Holcombe's in for a busy spring.
Two years after playing his last baseball game at nearby Hillcrest High School, the Alabama linebacker is back on the ball field. It was time to give baseball another try, this time at the collegiate level.
Alabama baseball coach Mitch Gaspard spoke highly of Holcombe, a 37th-round MLB draft pick in 2014.
It'll make for a tricky few weeks when spring football practice begins next month. A right fielder who Gaspard said could play any of the three outfield positions, will balance the two sports.
"There's going to be some back and forth when football begins," Gaspard said.
