| Summary: The offensive profile is built around rhythm, barrel feel, and an advanced sense of the zone. Leeper shows a clean right-handed stroke with quick hands and consistent timing, producing line drives now with the foundation to grow into loft as strength continues to come. He rarely looks rushed, controls at-bats well, and keeps whiff rates down by staying on plane through the hitting zone. There’s bat speed in the tank, and while the power is still more projection than present output, the ingredients for usable impact are there. Athleticism shows up across the field. He’s an above-average runner who plays fast underway, is aggressive on the bases, and moves with purpose in the outfield. Routes and footwork continue to improve, giving him a chance to handle center field early, and the arm strength is sufficient to fit anywhere across the grass. As the body fills out, a corner outfield landing spot may make the most sense, but the defensive value is real regardless of position. Overall value hinges on how much strength and power ultimately arrive, but the hit tool gives him a strong baseline. Leeper plays under control, makes frequent quality contact, and impacts the game without forcing outcomes. If the physical gains translate into consistent extra-base damage, the profile has room to grow well beyond a bat-only projection, with athleticism and feel for the game supporting everyday upside. | |||||||||||
