An odd Jack Leiter statistical quirk

2021 first rounder has spent the entire 2022 season at AA Frisco. Assigning him to AA for his pro debut was a move that the organization acknowledged was aggressive, and Leiter has had his fair share of struggles in the Texas League, putting up a 5.50 ERA in 73.2 IP over 19 appearances for the Roughriders.

Leiter has been better lately — I heard Kennedi Landry on the Ballpark Dimensions podcast mention that Leiter has been much better since his Futures Game appearance (when he threw a shutout inning), and having gone and checked it out, that has been the case.
