Brad “The Animal” Leslie was a 1st round pick for Cincinnati Reds in 1978. He first debuted on July 31, 1982 at 23 years old vs. San Diego Padres where he pitched 1 inning giving up one hit and walking one. While looking at his stats I came across something I wanted to share. Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker had 4 plate appearances against The Animal in his career going 1 for 3 with a walk.
