Corey Leaden enters his third season as the Director of Baseball Analytics for the Harvard University baseball program in 2025-26 after previous stints with the Colorado Rockies, Milwaukee Brewers, and Texas Rangers organizations.
With the Crimson, Leaden manages the program’s data analytics efforts through multiple platforms and technologies to maximize the team’s performance. He communicates that knowledge to the team’s coaching staff and student-athletes to leverage that knowledge in game situations.
During the 2025 season, the Crimson earned a spot in the Ivy League Tournament and finished as the tournament’s runner-up. Harvard registered seven All-Ivy selections, including unanimous First Team All-Ivy accolades for Gio Colasante, alongside three Ivy League Tournament All-Tournament Team selections and three Academic All-District picks.
After the 2025 season, Harvard notched a pair of MLB Draft picks for the third straight season as right-hander Truman Pauley went to the New York Mets in the 12th round with the 373rd overall pick while right-hander Callan Fang was picked by the Minnesota Twins in the 13th round with the 389th overall selection.
In 2024, Harvard totaled seven Ivy League awards, including Ivy League Pitcher of the Year honors for Callan Fang and unanimous First Team All-Ivy accolades for Ben Rounds who hit .403, becoming the first member of the Crimson to hit above .400 since 2004. Over the course of the season, Harvard earned at least one win over all seven other Ivy programs.
Following the 2024 season, the Crimson tallied a pair of MLB Draft selections for the second straight season as right-hander Sean Matson went to the Cleveland Guardians in the ninth round with the 265th overall pick and right-hander Tanner Smith went to the San Diego Padres in the 15th round with the 450th overall selection.
Prior to Harvard, Leaden acted as a minor league technology and video staffer in the Colorado Rockies organization in 2023, as a minor league technology operations intern with the Milwaukee Brewers organization in 2022, and as an associate scout with the Texas Rangers organization in 2021.
A 2019 graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Leaden earned a bachelor’s degree in sport management, while participating in the McCormack Student Leaders Club and McCormack Sport Analytics Club.
