Good day for Leikam who has established himself as one of the top 2023 follows in Colorado. Demonstrated arm strength and pitchability. The Valor Christian left-hander was attacking hitters with confidence. Fastball topped out at 90.2 mph from a high ¾ release. SL/CB was 67-69 to along with a plus-plus changeup at 75 mph. Leikam produces plus movement on all of his pitches on the mound.

GREAT performance for Ben! The 6-foot-2, 195-pound left-hander topped out at 90.3 mph with his fastball, sitting consistently at 88-90 mph. Velo has jumped 4 mph since our November 1st event. The southpaw attacks with potential for +CB/SL and fastball with armside run. Still room for development with high ceiling. Top 2023 left-hander in the State.

Ben Leikam, Valor, 2023
LHP with a small side step into a toe tap. Has a high controlled leg lift. Uses a small coil at the top to generate power. Front foot lands neutral to the plate. Has a long arcing arm action. Threw all of his pitches with conviction. FB was 83-86 with low spin. Therefore had good sink to the ball. CH was 72-74 and CB was 64-66 with good action. Big frame with huge upside. Potential to add velo. Player to follow.
