LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 PG South Uncommitted Prospect Showcase
Jesse Leija is a 2027 RHP/3B with a 5-9 160 lb. frame from Spring, TX who attends Oak Ridge. Primary right-handed pitcher with a medium build and projectable frame to add size and strength. Staggered start from the third base side of the rubber. Toe-tap delivery with a belt-high lift working inline down the slope. Repeats the delivery and controls the strike zone with a starter profile three-pitch mix. Some arm side run on the fastball with a tight slider that showed depth in the zone. Flashed a changeup to lefties for a different look. Solid spin profile and with added strength the velocity should increase. Third baseman with footwork and actions for the corner. Some arm strength on throws across working around the ball for online accuracy. Right-handed hitter, wider base with balanced stance and forward hands. Knee-lift trigger with short separation into slot. Drifts into contact on the front side with impact through the middle and opposite field. Some strength out front when he keeps the weight back at launch. Good student.
