As we dive into the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, one name that has been generating buzz is Jack Leiter of the Texas Rangers. Once heralded as a potential ace and the second overall pick in the 2021 draft, Leiter's journey has been anything but smooth. With a projected value of $0 in a 10-team AL-only league and a troubling ERA of 8.75 in 2025, it begs the question: is this the make-or-break season for him?
Leiter's struggles have been well-documented, but could this be the year he finally turns it around? With the Rangers' rotation looking strong and the emergence of other pitching prospects like Kumar Rocker, how much pressure is on Leiter to perform? Are we witnessing a classic case of a highly-touted prospect facing the harsh realities of Major League Baseball, or is there still hope for him to reclaim his status as a top-tier pitcher?
Moreover, with the Rangers being seen as a potential trade destination for established pitchers, how might that impact Leiter's role moving forward? If the Rangers do make a move, could it stifle Leiter's development further, or might it provide him with the opportunity to learn from seasoned veterans?
Let's discuss! What are your thoughts on Jack Leiter's future? Do you believe he can bounce back this season, or is it time to consider him a bust? Share your predictions and experiences with similar players who faced early career struggles.
