5-foot-10, 165-pound left-handed pitcher. Had a 2 inning stint at the Future Games and showed well. The fastball has good life, touching 88 mph with arm side run to it. The slider is above average and already a college out pitch, upper 70's and into the low 80's. The changeup showed fade action, and is still developing. He repeats the process and is aggressive in nature.

Leger is an athletic, young left-handed hitting outfield prospect. He hits out of a square, balanced stance. The hands are relaxed just off the back shoulder. The bat head takes a slightly uphill path through the zone, producing a lot of solid contact. Defensively, Leger showed athleticism in the outfield. He moves well, gets into good positions to field, the exchange is clean and the arm works. He also had a vertical of 54.4 cm. On the mound, Leger uses a simple, easy delivery. He gets to a good position at the top, separates well and heads down the mound in line with the plate. The arm works out of a high, over the top slot producing a fastball that sits (74-75 MPH) with some tilt. Leger also mixed in a 12/6 curveball and showed a slider.
