Alabama lands commitment from top transfer portal catcher
Earlier this past week, the Alabama Crimson Tide baseball program landed one of their biggest commitments via the transfer portal yet this offseason, as catcher John Lemm made things official that he was headed to Tuscaloosa.
Lemm announced his commitment to Alabama via a post on social media, doing so Monday, June 30.
Coming to Alabama from Southern Illinois, Lemm is fresh off a phenomenal junior campaign in which he hit 19 home runs with 56 RBI across 58 games, 52 of which he started. Over that span, Lemm also slashed .255/.428/.620 while stealing nine bases.
Prior to spending the 2025 season at Southern Illinois, Lemm played at South Suburban Community College in 2024, and now heads to Tuscaloosa where he could play a key role in 2026.
