4/22/13 Long, athletic projectable frame, 6-foot-5, 200-pound right-handed pitcher. Long limbs and plenty of room for physical development. Long and loose arm from 3/4 slot. Fastball sat at 86 mph from windup, a tick less from stretch, topped at 88 a few times. Fastball has run and sink, inducing a lot of groundballs. Opens front side early, but repeats delivery consistently. Showed ability to throws consistent strikes at knees and below. Around the plate with everything. Slider, in 73-75 range, showed sharp, tight break at times; not a swing-and-miss pitch but misses barrels. Changeup (75-78) has tendency to flatten out, but showed potential. Allowed 4 hits, 3 runs in 6 innings with 3 Ks and 2 walks. Currently ranked No. 47 in Illinois’ 2014 class. High pitchability guy and velocity should increase as he fills into frame.
2/17/13 - Long, lanky frame, athletic build, 6-foot-5, 195-pound two way player. Project well on the mound. Delivery shows regular effort, some rhythm, good direction and square landing. Arm action is long and loose, shows arm speed, operates from a ¾ arm slot. Fastball has run and sink, shows a slightly heavy feel, good command at the bottom of the zone, 84-85 mph. Slider has sweeping action, pitch has high ceiling, thrown from fastball window, shows control, 72-75 mph. Changeup has sinking action, thrown near fastball arm speed, 75-79 mph. Highly projectable right handed pitcher who shows upside for three pitches. Offensively hits from a slightly open stance, bat wrap load. Bat path flattens out, 85 mph exit velocity from the tee.
9-20-2018: One of five 5th-year seniors on the Illinois roster this fall, Leland was impressive during his two-inning appearance. Showed a noticeably different vibe to his body language than previous looks over the course of his college career. Much more calm and relaxed on the bump. Commanded his 88-91 sinker down in the zone and aggressively went after hitters during his first inning. Tried to pick a bit and go for the strikeout with his above average 80-82 mph slider during his second inning, instead of continuing to pound the bottom half of the strike zone with his sinker. Overall, it was a strong performance for the righty reliever, and one who will likely play a key role for the Illini out of the bullpen this spring. (Seifert)
