TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Just 36 days away from the start of Alabama Baseball's 2026 campaign against Washington State, Crimson Tide shortstop Justin Lebron continues to pull in national recognition.

Lebron, a rising junior for the Crimson Tide who has started in 118 games for the Crimson Tide over the last two seasons, has been named to Perfect Game's Preseason All-American first team.

Lebron burst onto the scene during his freshman season in 2024, batting .350 with 11 homeruns and 38 RBIs.

While the Miramar, Fla. native's average and on-base percentage dipped in 2025, his power numbers surged as he belted 18 home runs with a 100-point slugging percentage jump while nearly doubling his RBI total to 72.

Lebron is poised to lead the Crimson Tide through the SEC gauntlet and hopefully push Alabama past the NCAA Regionals for the first time under Rob Vaughn.
