I just finished up my grad work at ASU last June (just shy of one year ago!), so I'm thrilled to have Leake in the organization (assuming the signing process goes well--no concerns have been voiced thus far). <br /><br />Looking back through my old scorebooks, I did find a CWS game in which Leake pitched out of the bullpen for ASU vs. UC Irvine(19 June 2007). Unfortunately, I don't remember much of his performance... Looks like he shut down the opposition in a disastrous 8th inning, only to allow the losing run in the 10th inning. If I remember right, Jarvis (who Leake replaced) was the closer on that team, and it was he who really was most to blame for the loss.<br />-jjinazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-48978630480197800552009-06-10T21:40:10.289-04:002009-06-10T21:40:10.289-04:00Congrats on getting an amazing player & person...Congrats on getting an amazing player & person in Mike Leake. I have been fortunate enough to have gotten to know Mike while at ASU. He is a very talented pitcher and also a great fielder and hitter. Mike is one of the nicest and most humble guys I know. He has a humorous side and can usually be found with a smile on his face. He is definitely a player to watch and should have a great career. Hopefully he'll bring ASU that championship we've been waiting for.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675822938256455731noreply@blogger.com
