Jake Leonard brings speed, on-base skill, and infield grit to EMU
In the 2025 season at Stevenson, Jake Leonard hit .380 with a .509 on-base percentage and 38 stolen bases, while also setting the program record for walks and earning All-State First Team honors; at Eastern Michigan in 2026, he arrives as a freshman INF with a proven table-setter profile. The real draw is the combo package: quickness, strike-zone feel, and competitive juice that shows up in pressure moments, including an MVP nod in the 2025 MHSBCA East vs. West All-Star Game. He looks like a fit for a team that values athletic middle-infield production and run creation over pure slug.
