Drafted in the 12th round (357th overall) by the Miami Marlins in 2018 (signed for $125,000).
View Draft Report
Kansas' closer is a massive, 6-foot-3, 245-pound righthander with the big stuff to match. He's touched 97 mph and is consistently 92-94 mph. He blew away hitters early in the season, but his results tailed off as the Jayhawks entered the conference schedule, even as he sharpened his slurvy slider into more of a fringe-average pitch. Leban's size and arm strength make him a potentially useful bullpen piece who could go late on day two or early on day three of the draft.
