Correct! Leverage Index is a measure of Usage, not Performance. It is no better an indicator of performance than Games Started, but it does give you an idea of when the pitcher is being used. It might help you guess which pitcher an opposing manager might use based on the game situation. If you play as GM only, it is also a good way to determine which pitchers your own manager is using in certain situations and allow you to assess what is going on with your team.
