Alabama Softball lands LSU transfer pitcher Alea Johnson
The Alabama softball program landed a commitment LSU transfer pitcher Alea Johnson.
Johnson spent one season in Baton Rouge. The native of Fairhope, Alabama was solid in the circle. Johnson finished the season with a 7-1 record and a 1.41 ERA. In 44.2 innings pitched, Johnson allowed just nine earned runs.
Johnson’s experience as a pitcher in the SEC is something that should bode well for the Crimson Tide in 2024. With Montana Fouts exhausting eligibility, head coach Patrick Murphy has placed an emphasis on landing pitchers via the transfer portal.
Several weeks ago, Central Arkansas pitcher Kayla Beaver transferred to Alabama. She finished the 2023 season with a 25-7 record and a 1.15 ERA. Both Beavers and Johnson will be called on in the circle for Alabama next season.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow the Alabama softball program.
