Alabama baseball is reeling, on a four-game losing streak after getting swept by Kentucky to start SEC play, before losing on Tuesday night in Mobile to South Alabama. The Crimson Tide now enters a massive series against Florida, desperately needing to get back in the win column to avoid dropping to the bottom of the conference standings.<\/p>\n
Florida, ranked No. 18 in the country, is 19-3 and coming off a sweep of South Carolina. Preseason National Pitcher of the Year frontrunner Liam Peterson has been very good, with a 2.84 ERA, but the bigger story has been sophomore right-hander Aidan King. The 2025 Freshman All-American is yet to allow an earned run through 23.1 innings. He’s struck out 26 batters and has earned the win in all four of his starts.<\/p>\n
Alabama’s rotation did not look great in Lexington last weekend. All three will have their work cut out for them against a Florida lineup that is among the best in the SEC, led by Brendan Lawson with a 1.599 OPS. <\/p>\n
