Future Games participant who has continued to increase his stock consistently over the last year and change. Physically he’s fully capable of handling the demands of the position and has the athleticism necessary to stick behind the dish at the next level. His combination of catch & throw skills plus offensive output (upper 90’s EV) make him one of the top remaining uncommitted juniors in the PNW.
Leitgeb took the biggest step forward of any player at the Northwest Preseason Invite, and clearly looks ready to have a strong sophomore campaign at Jesuit. Physical with defined, thicker strength across an athletic 6-foot 180-pound frame, Leitgeb gets to that strength at the plate with a short stroke that is strong through the zone with simplicity and quick hands. He produced a max exit velocity of 96.08 mph per Trackman, and each swing seemed to produce audible contact throughout the large facility. A 7.04-runner, that athleticism carries over behind the plate where he possesses looser hips and solid hands with a 77 mph arm from the crouch with pop-times as low as 1.97. The jump that Leitgeb made from June is exciting, and college coaches are going to want to circle his name as one to follow later in the spring and into the summer.
