Scouting the 2019 Draft: Jack Leiter

Jack Leiter RHP, HS.  6'1", 195 lbs.

Jack Leiter is the son of former MLB LHP Al Leiter and the nephew of former Giant Mark Leiter, so it is not surprising scouting reports have him as the most advanced HS pitcher in the 2019 draft class. Per PG scouting report, his FB reaches 94 MPH and he spots it to all 4 quadrants.  He backs that up with 3 quality secondary pitches he can throw anytime.  He is committed to Vanderbilt and draws comps to Sonny Gray both from his body type and stuff.  MLB Pipeline ranks him the #20 draft prospect for 2019 with Fangraphs rating him lower at #47.
