Leon Landry

Bio

School: LSU
Drafted: 3rd round pick of the 2010 draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers
Scouting Report: Landry is a conundrum for pro teams -- an athletic outfielder who can run but isn't a burner, whose reads in centerfield are poor enough that he's not a lock to stay at the position, and who hits but has no power and isn't particularly patient. Landry has some bat speed and his swing isn't complicated, but he meets the ball out front too often and doesn't make solid enough contact. He can foul pitches off but rarely drives the ball, and against left-handed pitchers he tends to just hit the ball the other way. In center, he has the speed to play the position but his instincts aren't good, and he doesn't have the arm for right field. In other words, he has the tools to be a good player, a centerfielder who hits and adds value through baserunning, but he's not there yet and at 21 has less room for growth than a similarly raw, toolsy high school player. ~espn.com
