Southern Miss Baseball Signs Leach
Southern Miss Baseball Coach Corky Palmer announced the signing of Brent Leach, a 6-4, 195-pound left-handed pitcher from Brandon, Miss., to a national letter of intent for the 2001-02 school year.
This brings the total number of Southern Miss baseball signings to 11. Leach also was recruited by Ole Miss, who was an NCAA Tournament participant in 2001
?Brent gives us another left-handed pitcher on our staff,? Palmer said. ?He is big and throws hard and will add quality depth to the staff. He needs to continue growing and improving his skills but will have a chance to earn time on the mound next season.?
The Brandon High School graduate was an all-district performer his senior year, playing for Josh Reagan and David Lara.
Leach was 14-10 with a 2.63 ERA over his career at Brandon High School. He pitched 125 innings, giving up 47 earned runs and fanning 133 batters.
