Leon is very similar to Yurendell DeCaster. After a slow start as a pro, he began showing solid power, but poor plate discipline. Like DeCaster, he's a capable defensive player. He was slow to adjust to AAA and hasn't done anything in his brief major league opportunities. He opened the season on the Indianapolis roster, but may have been hurt.
