Alabama has picked up a key addition to its roster in former Houston pitcher/infielder Brooke Wells.

Wells had nine appearances in the circle this past season with a 1-1 record and a 4.91 ERA. She pitched in 15.2 innings and allowed 12 runs on 12 hits while striking out nine batters.

At the plate, Wells was a standout. She led the team in batting average, hitting .341 while racking up 25 runs, 47 hits, ten home runs, and 47 RBIS.

In 2024, she was tabbed as the No. 26 recruit in the country by Extra Innings Softball. Wells joins an Alabama squad that had another strong season, where they finished 40-23 overall and advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals before falling to Oklahoma.

She is expected to have significant playing time on both sides of the ball as the Crimson Tide lose two pitchers and two infielders to graduation.

Wells will have three years of eligibility remaining.
