Jack Leiter is making his MLB debut with the Texas Rangers after a notable journey through college and the minors. Born into a baseball family, he is the son of former MLB pitcher Al Leiter. At Vanderbilt, he had a standout season, including a complete-game no-hitter and leading the team to the College World Series. Despite being the second overall pick in the 2021 draft, he faced challenges in his early professional career, struggling with control and command. However, Leiter revamped his mechanics and mindset, focusing on execution rather than dominance. After a rocky start in the majors, he showed resilience by improving in the second half of the 2024 season, culminating in a strong final appearance.
