Kyle Yandow Leahy (lay-hee; born June 4, 1997) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. He made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut in 2023.

Career

Leahy graduated from Erie High School in Erie, Colorado, in 2015. Playing for the school's baseball team, he had a 9–1 win–loss record and a 0.41 earned run average (ERA) in his senior year, and was named the Longmont Times-Call's player of the year. He enrolled at Colorado Mesa University to play college baseball for the Colorado Mesa Mavericks.[1]

The St. Louis Cardinals selected Leahy in the 17th round, with the 513th overall selection, of the 2018 MLB draft.[2] Leahy began the 2023 season with the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds, pitching in 28 games and recording a 4.06 ERA with 51 strikeouts in 51 innings pitched.[3]

On July 6, 2023, Leahy was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[4] In 3 games for St. Louis, he allowed four runs on four hits and five walks with two strikeouts in 1+2⁄3 innings pitched. Following the season on October 26, Leahy was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to Triple–A Memphis.[5]
