Ricky Leachy is a 2009 RHP/3B/2B with a 5'11'', 175 lb. frame from Brookfield, Wisconsin, who attends Brookfield Central High School. He has a medium frame with an athletic look. On the mound he throws from a lower 3/4 arm slot, with a short arm circle on the back side. Leachy's fastball gets sink at 80 mph, while working at 76-79 mph. He throws a knuckle curve ball with sharpness, late bite and depth at 67 mph. His change-up is also a good pitch as he maintains his arm speed. He has good upside on the mound. At the plate he is a right handed hitter with a simple swing. He uses a leg lift trigger and shows bat speed through the hitting zone. He has a line drive swing plane making consistent contact. Leachy has the ability to hit to all fields, and should hit for a solid average. Good upside both ways, and he is a good student as well.
