Euclides Leyer

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Chicago White Sox #32 prospect in 2013
  While the White Sox were conspicuously inactive in Latin America for much of the last decade, they have picked up the pace in recent years. There have some intriguing Dominicans in the lower levels of their system, including Leyer, lefthander Jefferson Olacio and outfielder Antonio Rodriguez. All are raw but showed promise in instructional league during the fall. The most advanced of the group is Leyer, who has had a visa the last two years and advanced to low Class A at the end of last season. Athletic and projectable, Leyer already works at 90-91 mph with his fastball and can hit 94. His secondary pitches and command are still works in progress. He'll return to low Class A for 2013, with the goals of working 100 innings while adding more strength and maturity.
