'Calmer, more strategic' and healthier Jordan Leasure trying to claim spot in White Sox pen
Briefly

Jordan Leasure, initially a closer candidate for the White Sox, faced challenges during the 2023 season with a 6.32 ERA. After a strong start, he was impacted by fatigue and injury, limiting his appearances. Following a healthy spring training, he expressed improvements in physical stability and pitching strategy. Manager Will Venable noted positive feedback about Leasure's performance during live batting practices, hinting at a potential role in the bullpen. Leasure's experience and resilience may contribute to his success in 2025.
Just how to deal with situations, you get thrown into something sticky, a close game... Be calmer, more strategic instead of fireballing my way out of it.
I feel stronger, more stable mostly in my upper body... A lot of my numbers on the strength test came back better.
He looks really good... Feedback from the catchers that he looks really good. And feedback from the hitters that he looks good in his live BPs.
