10/09/2013 - Arizona Senior Fall Classic Derick continues to show solid abilities in his game. He is aggressive and works to get into a square fielding position. He gathers well and has a clean exchange, turning the DP smoothly. Working on his footwork while fielding the backhand will help defensive skills improve. When Derick got on the mound, he took control of the game. He works at his tempo and holds runners on 1B well. He drives off the rubber, using his lower 1/2 well and works in-line toward the dish. CB is best pitch and will be more effective as he throws it more. As a hitter, Derick lets the ball travel in the zone and hits it where it's pitched. He gets good hip rotation and drives from his backside. Leaman is an athlete as has the ability to make the necessary adjustments to his game.
