REPORT: Alabama pitcher Grayson Hitt out for remainder of season
Some tough news broke on Thursday ahead of Alabama baseball’s SEC road trip to Missouri as it was announced that junior left-handed pitcher Grayson Hitt would miss the remainder of the season with an elbow injury.
Hitt’s elbow injury will require Tommy John surgery which requires a lengthy recovery.
Hitt was projected to be an early-round pick in this year’s MLB draft, but now his future is uncertain.
Hitt has made eight appearances this season and has occurred a 3-1 record with a 4.19 ERA.
Kendall Rogers of D1 Baseball was the first to report the unfortunate news.
Alabama will face Missouri in Columbia this weekend with a patched-together pitching staff.
