Alabama baseball lands Ole Miss transfer catcher Will Plattner

Ole Miss transfer catcher Will Plattner announced that he was transferring to Alabama on Friday. Plattner spent one season with the Rebels.

The Alabama baseball program received a commitment from Ole Miss transfer Will Plattner on Friday.

Plattner spent one season at Ole Miss. He made two starts as a catcher and played in seven games in total. The Illinois native amassed a .300 batting average and compiled a 1.000 fielding percentage behind the plate.

The best game that Plattner had as a freshman came against Alcorn State on April 12. He went 3-for-3 at the plate with a double, four runs scored, and a walk.

In 2023, Alabama rotated at the catcher position. Mac Guscette and Dominic Tamez both started a handful of games behind the plate. In 2024, I would expect Plattner to be in the mix to play a lot at catcher. With Guscette returning, he will likely begin the season as the Crimson Tide’s backup catcher.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow the Alabama baseball program.
