Scouting the best of the Northeast prospects in 2019 MLB Draft

Last weekend I had a chance to check out three of the top prospects in the Northeast region for the 2019 MLB Draft- Jack Leiter, Anthony Volpe, and Chris Newell.

After going to that game here are some thoughts on each one of the three.

Jack Leiter, RHP, New Jersey HS

The biggest name of the trio is Jack Leiter, the son of former big league pitcher and MLB TV personality Al Leiter. Jack is seen as a late first round pick, but due to his family situation, Vanderbilt commitment, and small list of teams on his wish list, he is considered to be a very tough sign for most teams.
