Jack Leiter Stats

The Texas Rangers have promoted pitching prospect Jack Leiter to Triple-A Round Rock. The 2021 second-overall pick turned things around with Frisco after a devastating July 7 start (six runs allowed with just one out recorded) sent him to the developmental list for nearly two months. In four starts since returning from the developmental list, Leiter holds a 3.31 ERA, 39.7% strikeout rate, 6.3% walk rate, and 0.92 WHIP. The 23-year-old's promotion bodes well for a call-up in the coming season. With this recent progression, managers in the dynasty format should reconsider the Vanderbilt University product.

Texas Rangers pitching prospect Jack Leiter dazzled in his most recent outing, striking out 10 over six innings of one-run ball. Following a poor stretch in April, Leiter has bounced back nicely in May, sporting a 1.59 ERA and 0.82 WHIP through three starts this month. Overall, he carries a 4.38 ERA and 34.4% strikeout rate with Double-A Frisco for the season. Leiter must demonstrate more consistency with his performance before a promotion arrives, but he will become an intriguing fantasy target when that happens. The 2021 second-overall pick possesses an encouraging upside and will be worth a stash in deeper fantasy formats until he eventually gets his shot at the majors, more likely in 2024.

Texas Rangers pitching prospect Jack Leiter threw six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in a start for Double-A Frisco. The 24-year-old has struggled to start the season with a 5.19 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in his first six starts. This season continues the struggles from his 2022 season when he had a 5.54 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 22 starts. Leiter must consistently repeat Friday's performance before he progresses past Double-A. The Vanderbilt product has struggled as a minor leaguer, but his college experience will allow him to reach the majors soon if he manages to put it all together. This performance offers hope for those in dynasty leagues, but he's not worth a look in all other formats.
