danman31 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 He's got to learn strike zone judgment and develop power, but for his age the average is really nice obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaTank Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Leighton's starting the year as the starting 1B for Great Falls. Doesn't strike out as much as your average 1B (34 times in 44 games last year) but also doesn't walk much either (6 times). Still, I find him to be a very intriguing prospect for a prep player taken in the 40th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Filling in for the missing poster... Leighton was a nnice surprise for a 40th round pick in 2009, putting up high averages and a little power in Bristol in 2009, and Great Falls in 2010. But that all go sidetracked in late 2010, when he broke his arm in an altercation off the field, missing some time that year. 2011 he spent mostly repeating Great Falls, putting up numbers that were actually a little worse than in 2010. He was in Kanny for 19 games as well, and seemed overmatched. Here in 2012, having just turned 21, Pangilinan is in Kanny. He started off on fire, but has fallen off since, and currently has a .252/.328/.400/.728 line. For a firstbaseman, he needs to do better than that, and he's striking out a fair amount too (35 K in 124 PA). He's still young, but a 40th round pick with a history of off-field issues really needs to make more happen with the bat to be taken seriously as a prospect.
