Hideki Leary
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. Leary also has a decent changeup. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.
Defense & Hitting Leary does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Leary is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Leary has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook I can't say I know what The Free Agents were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
