Cubs Prospect Perspective: Zachary Leigh

Right-handed pitcher. Born November 14, 1997. Kingwood, Texas
Cubs draft pick (16th Round), Texas State University (San Marcos).

If you’ve read a few of these, you know my default. Whether a player in the MLB DFA portal or a recent acquisition by the Cubs in any form or fashion, a new or somewhat unfamiliar name leads to a sprint to Baseball Reference. When I heard the Cubs selected Leigh, I looked, and... I didn’t expect that. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that.

Texas State plays in the Sun Belt Conference, a reasonably top-heavy baseball league.
