Leavitt delivers in debut

Vernon right-hander Todd Leavitt tosses four-hitter over five innings with no runs allowed in Arizona Winter Baseball League debut

Vernon and District Baseball Association alumnus Todd Leavitt went to the Arizona Winter League to show Major League Baseball scouts his stuff.

If first impressions are any indication, Leavitt could get a long look while in Yuma.

Leavitt, a 6-foot 195-pound starting right-handed pitcher for the Pericos de Puebla (one of six teams in the AWL) picked up the win in his debut Feb. 5, a 5-1 decision over the Edmonton Capitals.

Leavitt went five innings, gave up only four hits, struck out five, walked two and did not allow a run.

The Pericos are 4-0 to start the month-long league, tied with Team Canada.

Leavitt is scheduled to start Friday against the Capitals for a second straight time.
