Jalal Donnell Leach (born March 14, 1969), is an American former Major League Baseball player who played for the San Francisco Giants in 2001. He was primarily used as a pinch hitter, but was also used as an outfielder. He threw and batted left-handed, stood 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and weighed 200 pounds (91 kg) during his professional baseball career, which lasted for 15 seasons (1990–2004).
Career[]
Born in San Francisco, Leach attended Pepperdine University. In 1989, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[1]
Signed originally by the New York Yankees after being selected in the seventh round of the 1990 Major League Baseball Draft, Leach played for six big-league organizations during his career in organized baseball. In 12 plate appearances during his September 2001 trail with the Giants, he collected two bases on balls and one hit, a single off Octavio Dotel of the Houston Astros on September 19.[2]
After his playing career, Leach became a scout, working for the Yankees until he returned to the Giants in that role for the 2016 season.
