Uncommitted. The in-game intangibles immediately jump off the page when Leathers takes the diamond. Tallied 7-hits along with a .437 OBP and set the tone out of the lead-off spot all weekend for Black Cobra. The RHH yields strong bat-to-ball skills backed by a balanced load in a quick trigger with present hand/bat speed and ability to hit the ball to all-fields. Delivers a well-leveraged barrel through the zone with ability to manipulate to produce consistent solid contact. Superb instincts on the base-paths is evident as Leathers wreaked havoc with a plethora of swiped bags throughout the tournament. The athleticism for Leathers shines up-the-middle at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds as he displays quick lateral actions, excellent routes to the ball, and present arm strength. Leathers epitomizes the term “gamer” and this is the type of profile that will provide immense success right away at the next level.

Uncommitted. Leathers sparked the offense early in the first inning with a back side single to drive in a run. Hitting at the top of the order for Ola, he was on base consistently, and had a great high at the plate. The actions in the field were really smooth over at 2B, and could easily stick on the left side of the infield as well. At the plate he had an event stance with easy timing and rhythm. The frame is intriguing at nearly 6-foot with tons of room to fill out.
