Jack Leiter is the son of 19-year MLB veteran Al Leiter, who pitched for the Yankees from 1987-89 and again in 2005. So you’re saying there’s a chance the Yanks sign him?
No, not at all. Jack Leiter is going to fulfill his commitment to Vanderbilt University, per Jack Curry of the YES Network.
Regardless, the Yanks still selected Leiter in the 20th round, 615th overall in this year’s draft.
Leiter was projected as a potential first-round talent heading into the draft. The right-hander was rated as the 33rd overall prospect according to MLB Pipeline and 21st by Baseball America.
