The sky’s the limit for Texas Rangers reliever Jose Leclerc, but he needs to find his command. Looking at his stats alone, many would be concerned if Leclerc could be legitimately counted on in the Rangers pen.
Last season, Leclerc went 2-3 with a 3.94 ERA in 47 games with two saves. He struck out 60 batters in 45.2 innings, but also walked 40 batters. 2017 was technically his rookie season, but he did pitch in 12 games during 2016.
The 24-year-old might have the best stuff in the Rangers bullpen. If he can find his command, Leclerc could develop into a Keone Kela type of reliever.
