I guess we will see in the draft. He had a much better year last year.

He is probably considered bama's next possible pro prospect, but he completely did not make the All SEC teams to end this year which means he is probably rated just enough.

College production helps but pro teams draft on tools and potential.

Still project as a first round pick. But as a Bam it is frustrating.

Had 16 homers and 40+ stolen bases and is a good, athletic fielder.

Not quite as bad as ‘25 L3u football (#3, finished 7-6) and ‘26 baseball (#2, finished 30-28)

Defines overrated.

LeBron has holes in his game, but he’ll get paid handsomely.

MLB teams have a lot of data points to make a decision, I don't see him going any lower then the supplemental round in Day 1 of draft

Not the first person with that name to be overrated. Does he flop a ton too?

Would be ironic if he has a son who is a baseball HOFer. Bizarro Lebron.

He definitely needs to put some meat on his bones. I will say I've never seen why everyone is so enamored with him. I guess maybe I caught him at a bad plate appearance every time I watched him.

First rounder based on potential but he was a lock for a top five pick going into the season.

Justin Lebron is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, with analysts generally slating the Alabama shortstop between picks No. 7 and No. 16. He is widely ranked as a top-10 overall prospect, bringing a strong five-tool profile with elite defensive skills at shortstop and impressive raw power


The longer I am on the rant the more convinced I am that Louisiana will be the location of the next Flint, Michigan like water pollution scandal. Possibly heavy metals. Possibly brain eating ameobas. Likely both.

Seven Former Top Prospects Close to Being Labeled Busts

quote:

Dylan Crews, Washington Nationals

Selected out of LSU with the No. 2 pick in the 2023 draft, the Nationals hoped Dylan Crews would be part of their next great core, alongside some of the pieces they acquired by trading majors stars like Juan Soto, Trea Turner and Max Scherzer.

While James Wood and CJ Abrams—acquired from the San Diego Padres in the August 2022 Juan Soto trade—have been hits, Crews so far goes more into the group of disappointing prospects like Keibert Ruiz.

Across his first 116 MLB games, Crews has hit just .211 with a .634 OPS. It should be noted that none of those games have come this season, as he has spent all of 2026 at Triple-A Rochester, where he's hitting .273 with a .773 OPS.

Crews is still only 24 years old and has six career defensive runs saved in right field in the majors. The fact that he can't crack the rebuilding Nationals roster, though, isn't encouraging.
