Former Alabama pitcher sues coaches over alleged misdiagnosis, mistreatment of injury
- Three members of Alabama Crimson Tide baseball coaching staff are being sued for mishandling a former player's injury.
- Alabama head baseball coach Brad Bohannon, pitching coach Jason Jackson, and trainer Sean Stryker are being sued for alleged negligence, wantonness, and breach of agreement for the handling of an injury to ex-Crimson Tide pitcher Johnny Blake Bennett.
- Court documents filed in Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court in March state Bohannon, Jackson, and Stryker did not properly handle a broken rib suffered by Bennett during mandatory strength training in 2019.
- The alleged mishandling of the ailment led to Bennett having difficulty throwing long distances.
- Bennett says he repeatedly told Bohannon, Jackson, and Stryker about something being wrong with his arm in 2019 and was not given proper medical attention and was later diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome.
