He appeared in 26 games before a back injury sidelined him for the remainder of the Tigers’ national championship-winning season. He boasted a perfect fielding percentage behind home plate with zero errors, along with a .209 batting average, 14 hits, three home runs and nine RBIs on the year.

This past season Neal played in 44 games, splitting catcher duties with Alex Milazzo and Hayden Travinski. He also spent some time as the designated hitter in LSU’s lineup. Neal could work his way into being one of the top catcher prospects in the 2025 MLB Draft. He was selected in the 17th Round of the 2022 MLB Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers.

Alabama is coming off of a 33-24 season in 2024.

Bryce Fowler announced his commitment to Alabama baseball, according to a statement on Twitter. After playing a year at Pearl River Community College, Fowler is going to the SEC.

But Fowler set the table last year, being the leadoff man for PRCC, batting .419 in 2024. He also had a .500 on-base percentage and a .681 slugging percentage.

Fowler raked this spring, tallying 88 hits which was the second most in program history. He also had 14 doubles, 11 home runs, four triples, 52 RBI, 24 walks, 24 stolen bases and 64 runs scored.
