SEC baseball鈥檚 best: Who are the MVPs of each team in 2023?
Alabama: Andrew Pinckney, RF
The junior redshirt outfielder has a bright spot for a team that is under .500 in conference play. At one point in time, Pinckney鈥檚 ability to make consistent contact was a question mark. He has answered those questions with back-to-back seasons of hitting over. 300. He is hitting .343 and slugging at a .606 clip in 2023, yet his biggest impact may come on the grass with outstanding play defensively. Pinckney will likely be selected within the first seven or eight rounds of this year鈥檚 MLB draft.
Andrew Pinckney was sitting on a fastball and he didn鈥檛 miss it! This grand slam gives Alabama a 5-1 lead over #3 Vanderbilt. Easy swing by Pinckney who gets the barrel up and drives the ball over the LF wall. He鈥檚 had an excellent spring for the Tide.
