Stat Review
How does Sandy Leon compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Leon spent the 2020 season in Cleveland, splitting duties behind the dish with Roberto Perez. Though a smaller sample, it was another campaign marked by his struggles at the plate. Since posting a 124 wRC+ in 2016, Leon has managed marks of 66, 34, 40 and 46 in the four seasons since. His skill profile has also remained remarkably consistent in that span, striking out between 24 and 26 percent of the time while also failing to post an ISO above .129. Even given his limitations at the plate, Leon has earned significant playing time in each of the past four seasons, due to his defensive work behind the dish. He's well regarded for his framing ability by Statcast and ranked well within the top-quartile in the metric in both 2018 and 2019. After signing a one-year deal with the Marlins, Leon will head into the 2021 season in competition with Chad Wallach for the backup role behind Jorge Alfaro.
