Former Alabama shortstop Jim Jarvis had a big moment this week—he hit his very first home run at the Double-A level for the Erie SeaWolves, a Detroit Tigers affiliate. It wasn’t just any homer either—it came with two strikes on him, something he had a knack for handling back in his college days.
So far this season, Jarvis is batting .220 with 10 RBIs and two steals across 59 plate appearances. Not bad for a guy still adjusting to the Double-A grind.

Caden Rose, another former Crimson Tide player, also went yard—this time for the Portland Sea Dogs, the Double-A team for the Boston Red Sox.

As for the current Crimson Tide teams, it’s been a quiet stretch—no games scheduled or results to report from Tuesday or Wednesday.
Countdown to Alabama’s football season? Just 122 days to go.
