2019 Arizona Diamondback Reviews: #27, Mike Leake

Did you know Mike Leake went to ASU? Drafted 8th overall in the 2009 draft after an outstanding junior season that saw him go 16-1 with a 1.71 ERA across 18 starts, Leake was seen as a high-floor prospect, one that would reach the MLB quickly. And boy did he ever. After a short Arizona Fall League appearance in 2009, he broke into the Cincinnati Reds starting rotation the following season and has been a mainstay across 4 teams. The results have been adequate, Mike’s a perfectly average pitcher, giving you 32 starts and close to 200 innings of league average ERA.
