Lebron highlighted for Wallace Award while Ozmer was added to Pitcher of the Year Watch List

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Alabama’s Justin Lebron and Carson Ozmer were selected to a pair of respective College Baseball Foundation Watch Lists, the organization announced Friday.

Lebron is one of 100 shortstops on the watch list for the Brooks Wallace Award, a distinction that honors the nation’s top shortstop and will be presented by the CBF later this year. It is named for former Texas Tech shortstop Brooks Wallace, who played for the Red Raiders from 1977 to 1980. Wallace died of leukemia at the age of 27.

Ozmer is one of 54 hurlers to appear on the watch list for Pitcher of the Year, an award that will be presented later this year by the CBF. The pitchers on the watch list represent 20 different conferences and reflect the top mound performers to this point of the 2025 season.
