Mike Leake Player Page

They said it...

"The No. 8 overall pick in the 2009 draft doesn't overpower with his stuff, but he throws the kitchen sink at hitters and knows how to pitch, with all the "pitchability" and feel you could ask for. He will throw two-seamers, four-seamers, cutters, curves, sliders, changes, whatever it takes, and pitch to batters' weaknesses. He won't be the top-of-the-rotation starter you'd expect from such a high pick, but can be a solid third or fourth starter that could be in the big leagues by August."

Jason Grey, ESPN.com - November 17, 2009

"Leake was his usual self, throwing five pitches (two- and four-seamers, slider, change, curveball and I may have even seen a cutter) for strikes and changing speeds constantly. His two-seamer and changeup were his best pitches, and his curveball, which had little or no depth, was his worst."

Keith Law, ESPN.com - October 16, 2009
