Mark Leiter Jr.

Leiter Jr. is a great example of the journeyman reliever who reinvents himself to survive, and I find those careers more compelling than the highlight-reel stars. Carrying a famous baseball surname can be a burden, but he's carved out his own path mostly out of the bullpen, leaning on a tricky splitter that gives hitters fits. There's something admirable about a pitcher who keeps grinding, gets traded around, and still finds high-leverage work. He's the kind of arm that quietly stabilizes a contender's late innings.

Mark Leiter Jr. (born 1991) is an American professional baseball pitcher. Born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and raised in New Jersey, he comes from a baseball family; his father Mark Leiter and uncle Al Leiter both pitched in Major League Baseball. He has pitched in the major leagues for several clubs, primarily working as a relief pitcher.
