Much like the other pitchers Breslow has targeted, Lei is a large man, standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 220 pounds.

He has good control and limits the walks. In his lone season pitching at Illinois-Chicago, he made 16 starts and tossed 96 2/3 innings while walking just 19 batters. He also struck out 86 in that same span and threw two complete games. He has a fastball that comes in at the low-90s, and it’s paired with a sharp slider that usually sat 79 to 80 mph. Scouts believe there is more swing and miss in his arsenal than he showed in college.

Last year, he was named All-Missouri Valley Conference First Team and made the All-MVC Tournament Team.
