As the past couple seasons have not gone the Tide's way, Murphy is hoping that with all of the new freshman and transfers, the new and improved Crimson Tide will make an impact on this season's outcome.

Alabama softball gets another commitment for Team 27 as Michigan's LHP/UT Lauren Esman has decided to use her final two years of eligibility with the Crimson Tide.

Team 27 is taking shape and now has 19 players on the roster as it heads into the Fall Ball period. Expectations will remain high with the return of Prange, Montana Fouts, Jenna Johnson and Ally Shipman. Adding the 2022 MAC Player of the Year will no doubt bolster an offense looking for a lift in 2023.
