Alabama shortstop Justin Lebron has made the Golden Spikes Midseason Watch List, recognizing the top amateur baseball players. The sophomore is already having an impressive season, with 13 home runs in just 30 games—surpassing last year’s total. He’s batting .342 and leads the nation with 53 RBIs. Lebron’s range and arm strength are top-tier, making him one of the 45 players selected for the prestigious list. Alabama’s Dave Magadan, who won the Golden Spikes in 1983, is the only Crimson Tide player to ever win the award, a year when the team made it to the College World Series.
