Alabama Crimson Tide shortstop Justin Lebron was named to the 2025 Golden Spikes Award Midseason Watch List, as announced by USA Baseball Thursday.
The infielder out of Archbishop Edward McCarthy High School in Florida is batting .342 with a team-leading 13 home runs, 53 RBIs and 1.207 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) in 30 games for the Crimson Tide this season. His 53 runs batted in lead the NCAA.
Lebron is in his sophomore season and has helped Alabama baseball to a 26-4 overall record (6-3 SEC) and a No. 8 ranking across this week's Top 25 college baseball polls.
He was one of 45 players named to Thursday's midseason Golden Spikes Award watch list, given annually to the top college and high school player in the country.
Alabama great Dave Magadan is the only Golden Spikes Award winner in program history, having taken home the honor in 1983 before going on to a 16-year MLB career between the New York Mets, Oakland Athletics and San Diego Padres primarily.
The 2025 Golden Spikes Award will be announced in June. Georgia Bulldogs slugger Charlie Condon won the award last season.
Alabama visits Auburn (20-9) for a three-game weekend series beginning Friday at 6 p.m. CT at Plainsman Park. Friday's game can be seen/streamed on SEC Network+.
