08/25/2012 - College PREP - Purchase, NY Austin is a big, young 1B with a strong lower half that will graduate in 2015. Feet are active as he displays proper foot works around the bag and is a quality receiver, displaying clean hands. He needs to attack balls more, increase foot speed, and present hands more out front to continue to improve defensive grade. Throws are accurate but needs to build more arm strength / carry through a long toss program. At the plate, Leclerc shows a balanced approach with rhythm. Swing path is level and he makes consistent contact. He needs to work on keeping hands inside the ball to utilize all fields and use lower half more to improve hitting / power grades. With 3 years to further develop, Austin has abilities with time and room to improve.
