About Mike Leake

Michael Raymond Leake (born November 12, 1987) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (MLB).
He previously played for the Cincinnati Reds, San Francisco Giants, and St. Louis Cardinals.
He played college baseball for the Arizona State Sun Devils of Arizona State University. The Reds selected Leake in the first round of the 2009 MLB draft. They promoted him to the major leagues at the start of the 2010 season, without having him pitch in the minor leagues, one of only 21 baseball players to go straight from the draft to the major league team that drafted them. He pitched for the Reds through 2015, at which point he was traded to the Giants. A free agent that offseason, he signed with the Cardinals. The Cardinals traded him to the Mariners in 2017.
Leake made his MLB debut April 11, 2010, for the Cincinnati Reds.
