Alabama Baseball lands commitment from LSU transfer catcher Brady Neal

The Alabama Crimson Tide baseball program added some firepower to its 2025 roster on Monday afternoon. LSU Tigers transfer catcher Brady Neal announced that he was transferring to Alabama via his X account.

Prior to arriving in Baton Rouge, Neal was drafted in the 17th round of the 2022 MLB Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers. He was ranked as the No. 2 catcher in the state of Florida and No. 29 overall prospect nationally by Perfect Game.

The Florida native would go on to spend the first two years of his college career in Baton Rouge. As a freshman, Neal played in 26 games. He held a .209 batting average to go along with three home runs and nine runs batted in.

As a sophomore, Neal played in 44 games for the Bayou Bengals. He obtained a .276 batting average to go along with nine home runs and 31 runs batted in. He also held a .408 on base percentage and a .578 slugging percentage.

With Alabama likely losing starting catcher Mac Guscette to the 2024 MLB Draft, catcher seemed like a position that the Alabama coaching staff needed to address. The Crimson Tide did that by landing one of the top transfer catchers in the country in Neal.
