Brandon Leibrandt opened the 2024 season in the Atlantic League before being signed by the Cincinnati Reds, where he made two relief appearances in the MLB, allowing seven earned runs and three home runs over 6.1 innings. He also had 17 starts in Triple-A. Leibrandt, a former sixth-round pick by the Philadelphia Phillies, has faced challenges in his career, including Tommy John surgery and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but he made his MLB debut with the Miami Marlins in 2020, showcasing a solid 2.00 ERA in five games. While primarily a reliever in the majors, most of his minor league experience has come as a starter.
