DeBoer followed in the footsteps of starting quarterback Jalen Milroe, who threw out the first pitch to open Alabama's home series against Arkansas. The Crimson Tide upset the then-No. 1 Razorbacks by winning that series two games to one.

DeBoer was seen pregame talking with Alabama baseball coach Rob Vaughn and greeted each of the Crimson Tide players following his pitch. He was greeted enthusiastically by the fans at Sewell-Thomas Stadium, who cheered on the newest coach in Tuscaloosa as he took the mound.
