One name more than most has set Red Sox fans abuzz when speculating who their team might take with the No. 4 overall pick of the MLB Draft on Sunday: star Vanderbilt pitcher Jack Leiter.
The Commodores hurler mowed through the college baseball landscape this year, posting an 11-4 record with a 2.13 ERA, 179 strikeouts, and just 45 walks in 110 innings pitched.
To top things off, he showed off his electric stuff prominently during the College World Series, even notching a 15-strikeout performance against North Carolina State.
It’s no lock that Leiter, the best pitching prospect in the draft and son of former MLB star Al Leiter, will fall to No.
