Alabama baseball is back in the national rankings after an unbeaten start to the season.

The Crimson Tide (12-0) is now No. 25 in the USA Today coaches poll released Monday. It also cracked the BaseballNews.com ranking at No. 23.

Alabama swept Harvard over the weekend for the program’s best start since the 1997 College World Series season.

A year ago, Alabama was ranked as high as No. 35 in the coaches poll in the non-conference season. The Tide went 23-3 against non-SEC teams in 2019.

Two in-state teams will visit Tuscaloosa this week before Lipscomb arrives for a three-game series starting Friday. South Alabama comes to town Tuesday at 3 p.m., before facing North Alabama at 3 p.m. Wednesday.
