Only 16 locations are selected by the NCAA each year to be the hosts of the College Baseball Regionals. This year, the Southeastern Conference will be strongly represented with eight of their 14 schools selected as host sites, so this means that the SEC will take up half of those sites, being: Tuscaloosa (Alabama), Fayetteville (Arkansas), Auburn, Gainesville (Florida), Lexington (Kentucky), Baton Rouge (LSU), Columbia (South Carolina) and Nashville (Vanderbilt).
Alabama, being among those eight teams, will be playing playoff baseball in Tuscaloosa for the first time since 2006.
The Tide finished the year with a record of 40-17 and were knocked out of the SEC tournament by the eventual champion Vanderbilt Commodores. Before being knocked out, Alabama beat Kentucky 4-0, lost to Florida 6-7, and beat Auburn 7-4. They also ended their regular season with three series wins over Vanderbilt, at Texas A&M, and Ole Miss.
