Signed out of Cuba in 2014 for $725,000. Leyva has a potential closer's arsenal consisting of a potential elite fastball and a potential plus curveball, both which will quickly rocket him through the minors. He's currently pitching multiple innings, but this is a one-inning reliever. There is moderate risk due to his level, but he shows feel for pitching and the command will be the only aspect of his game that will need refinement.
Note: He threw one firm CH at 84 mph.
