Top Rankings
Organization Prospect Rankings
Leone has proven to be a late-round find for the Mariners, reaching Double-A Jackson in 2013 only a year after being a 16th-round draft pick. In three seasons at Clemson, Leone started and relieved, helping the Tigers reach the College World Series once and regionals two other times. Passed over for 15 rounds primarily because of his slight stature and 5.25 ERA as a junior, Leone nonetheless throws his fastball in the 89-94 mph range and also has an effective slider up to 85 mph and a cutter that can break bats. He thrived in the Arizona Fall League, leading the circuit with six saves but more importantly posting a 15/1 SO/BB ratio. His above-average control separates him from other relief candidates in the organization. Leone will begin the 2014 season at Triple-A Tacoma but likely will make his major league debut in season. His stuff may be just a tad short for closing, but he has a chance of being an effective set-up man.
