Tall and strong righthanders committed to Florida usually become more significant prospects when they get to Gainesville, and many scouts see that happening in the case of Leftwich. He has a sturdy 6-foot-4, broad-shouldered build. Leftwich has a loose, athletic lower half and a fast arm. He has a full arm action with a high back elbow and a slight head jerk after his arm finishes across his body. Leftwich already flashes a plus fastball, reaching as high as 96 mph this spring. His slider flashes average with hard sweep in the low 80s. Leftwich has shown feel for his changeup at times, but he'll need more reps for it to become more consistent. He has the potential to be an early contributor for the Gators and is not expected to be easy to sign out of high school.
