Brody Leyboldt brings two-way upside and high-contact production to VCU
Leyboldt arrives at VCU as a versatile two-way piece who has already shown real bat-to-ball skill and run production, plus enough arm strength to help on the mound. In 2024 at Iowa Western, he hit .296/.432/.333 in limited action, and his fall work has flashed impact traits: a .396 average, .500 OBP, 10 steals, and 31 strikeouts in 22 innings with a 2.45 ERA. The draw is his athleticism and competitiveness—he can affect games in multiple ways, which makes him a strong fit for a staff or lineup looking for energy and flexibility.
