Leon Smith@  
Starting Pitcher | Port Hope Battery

Pitching
He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. If you're going in to face Smith, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Smith is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Smith has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
The Port Hope Battery signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Smith like a hot potato if something better comes along.
