My Take
Jack Leiter fascinates me because he carries one of the heaviest expectations in baseball: being the son of a respected MLB pitcher. Most legacy players get crushed by the comparison, but going second overall in the 2021 draft out of Vanderbilt is not nepotism, it is proof. I respect athletes who refuse to coast on a famous surname and insist on earning it with their own arm. His 2024 debut for the Rangers is only the opening chapter, and the scrutiny will be relentless. I am rooting hard for him to silence the noise and build a career that stands entirely on its own merits.
