Elite Numbers on the Field
On the diamond he posts a .473 batting average, a 1.311 OPS and a .565 on‑base percentage, while his speed has already yielded 24 successful stolen bases in 24 attempts.
Coach Patrik Sirois describes him as a player with exceptional talent, character and leadership, noting that Leandri’s ability to set the tone as a leadoff hitter is matched only by his defensive reliability.
Another coach, Chris Celano, has also praised Leandri’s defensive instincts and bat speed, underscoring the respect he commands across programs.

His academic excellence is reflected in the highest GPA among his male peers, two‑time Shoreline Scholar Athlete Award honors and membership in the National Honors Society.
College Commitment and Future Goals
Leandri will continue his baseball career at the University of New Haven, where he has been recruited as a third baseman and plans to make an impression in the Northeast Conference after his high school tenure.
He credits his parents for instilling a strong work ethic and emphasizes that his achievements are the product of relentless effort both in the classroom and in competition.
