Alabama Infielder Named Second Team Preseason All-American: Roll Call, January 22, 2025

Alabama sophomore Justin Lebron was honored by D1 Baseball as the publication announced its preseason All-American team ahead of the 2025 baseball season.

The Crimson Tide sophomore infielder was the only Alabama player honored as the shortstop was named to the second team. Lebron batted .356 with 12 home runs in 60 games as a true freshman in 2024, while fielding at a 95 percent clip. The 6-foot-2 infielder is considered the Crimson Tide's best professional prospect and fans should expect to see him take a step forward in his second year in college.
