One of the premier athletes in the Midwest, the physically gifted Gleaves ran the top 60 time at the ProCase last summer, checking in at a 6.61. His natural athleticism translates in the outfield, as he moves with fluidity and confidence to the ball, taking concise, aggressive routes. He also runs the bases exceedingly well. Physically, he is a chiseled 6-foot-1, 190 pounds with defined forearms and lower half, yet still has room for continued development. Offensively, he has a simple line-drive approach with quick hands. Once his lower half syncs up with his hands more consistently, Gleaves should acquire more power in the future. He had recruiting interest in football, but broke his leg as a junior and didn’t play this fall.
