A left-hand pitcher with a great curve and good control. Played varsity ball three years at Georgetown High School.

Leroy also attended Spring Training Camp in Deland Florida as a free agent. In December of 1951 he was offered a contract to play with the Lexington Baseball Club in the North Carolina League (Class D). His won and lost record was not to their liking so he was released. Upon his return home he played first base for the Millsboro team in the Central Shore League where he helped the team win the Championship, 1952.
