Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. But Leary, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Leary is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Leary has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Leary as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
