Reds sign 14 picks from 2026 MLB Draft, including first round pick Lebron
CINCINNATI —
The Cincinnati Reds have agreed to contract terms with 14 picks from the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft held last weekend in Philadelphia.
That includes shortstop Justin Lebron, the club’s first round pick who the Reds took at No. 18 overall last Saturday.
Lebron, 21, played college baseball at Alabama and was regarded as one of the most talented infielders in the draft class, with solid power from the right side and athleticism that should allow him to stick at shortstop as he moves his way through the Reds’ organization.
The Reds also announced the following players have signed:
3B Mulivai Levu (Comp. Round B) RHP Tyler Horn (3rd Round) LHP Ethan Norby (4th Round) SS Sherman Johnson (7th Round) C Brady Neal (8th Round) OF Damian Ruiz (9th Round) RHP Connor Griffin (10th Round) RHP Calvin Proskey (11th Round) RHP Brodie Purcell (12th Round) RHP Ray Ladd (14th Round) RHP Victor Christal (16th Round) OF Jack Lausch (17th Round) RHP Tristan Helmick (20th Round)
Players who were selected in the MLB Draft have until July 27 to sign with the club that chose them.
