His salary peaked at $10.3 million with the Mets in 2004. Leiter’s best work came with the New York Mets, compiling a 96-67 mark from 1998-2004, though he was 0-2 in seven postseason starts for them. Leiter was a left-hander, but scouts look at his 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame and see visions of his slightly smaller son. He won at least 10 games each season from 1995 to 2004 and finished with a career record of 162-132 and a 3.80 ERA. His father, Al Leiter, signed with the New York Yankees as a second-round draft pick in 1984 and reached the majors three years later.Īl Leiter spent 19 seasons in MLB with the Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, Florida Marlins, and New York Mets. Jack Leiter comes from good baseball bloodlines.

The New York Yankees selected Leiter in the 20 th round in 2019, but he also chose to attend Vanderbilt. The consolation prize for some lucky MLB team will be Jack Leiter, another right-hander. If Rocker was considered a strong prospect coming out of high school, then he’s on everybody’s must-have list now. The Colorado Rockies selected him late in the 2018 MLB draft, but he opted for college and has filled out to 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds. Although the right-hander surrendered his first two earned runs of the season, he has allowed just 11 hits and fanned 48 batters in 31 innings on the strength of an unhittable slider.

Rocker struck out 14 batters and allowed two hits over eight innings on March 19 as Vanderbilt, ranked second in the country, beat No. Vanderbilt pitcher Kumar Rocker has a 19-6 record in two-plus seasons on the mound for the Vanderbilt Commodores, and his stuff is simply overpowering.

When the Major League Baseball draft starts on July 11, one name figures to stand above all the rest.
