Justin Lebron Named Jax College Baseball Classic MVP: Roll Call, February 24, 2025

The Alabama baseball team went 3-0 at the Jax College Baseball Classic this past weekend, with an incredible comeback from a 10-run deficit against Ohio State keeping its undefeated record alive.

Star sophomore shortstop Justin Lebron was named the event's MVP, in part due to the two three-run home runs he hit during Sunday's game against the Buckeyes. The standout has gained national attention and is off to a roaring start to the season.

The Classic's All-Tournament Team also featured first baseman Will Hodo (who hit the walk-off home run to win the game 12-10 on Sunday), second baseman Brennen Norton, left fielder Kade Snell and Lebron, who was listed among all-tournament infielders to go with his MVP honors.
