Justin Lebron is 21 at-bats into his professional baseball career. He is already making a huge impact.

Here is a look at what the former Alabama Crimson Tide star has done in Minor League Baseball early on.

Lebron in the Reds farm system

Lebron was drafted with the 18th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft by the Cincinnati Reds.

After briefly being in the Arizona Complex League, the shortstop prospect was assigned to the Dayton Dragons, the High-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds.

In 5 games and 21 at-bats, Lebron has shown why he is worthy of being MLB Pipeline's number three prospect in Cincinnati's farm system.

Lebron has eight hits, leading to a .381 batting average thus far. He also has a .409 on-base percentage and an OPS of 1.171.

Half of Lebron's eight hits have been for extra bases. With Dayton, he has two doubles and two home runs in the first five games of his professional baseball career.

The second home run of his career came on Saturday, August 15. It was a grand slam that gave the Dragons a 5-0 lead over the Lake County Captains.

Elite Career with the Alabama Crimson Tide

Before his hot start in Minor League Baseball, Lebron spent three seasons playing college baseball for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

He left Alabama with a career batting average of .313 and a career on-base percentage of .414. Lebron also had 39 career doubles, 45 career home runs, and 158 career RBIs.

He earned plenty of individual accolades throughout his career at Alabama, including All-American honors and All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) honors as well.

In 2026, Lebron played a huge role in helping Alabama earn its first College World Series appearance since 1999. The Crimson Tide won 116 games across all three seasons in which Lebron played.
