A former Alabama baseball player died Wednesday at an off-campus apartment at his new school.

Davis Heller, who transferred to North Greenville University in the spring, died Oct. 5, according to a news release from the South Carolina school. He was 22 years old.

The release stated his death remains under investigation but “initial indications are that he died of natural causes.”

Heller announced his departure from Alabama in a May 31 tweet after spending two seasons in Tuscaloosa.

As a sophomore, Heller appeared in eight games with two starts. He went 2-for-10 at the plate with a double, RBI and a pair of walks. He went down with a season-ending injury at the end of his freshman season while starting five of the 15 games. He was 6-for-27 with six walks and six runs scored.

The Gilbert, Arizona product transferred to Alabama from South Mountain Community College after originally committing to Oklahoma coming out of high school.
