LSU-committed baseball player is Michigan's best prospect since Derek Jeter: report

Michigan isn't as known for producing baseball talent as it is for some other sports, but the occasional star has come out of the region.

Luke Leto might be the next great one.

Leto committed to LSU last week, and the Detroit Free Press' Jeff Seidel wrote a story Sunday (June 24) quoting coaches saying he could be the best prospect from Michigan since Derek Jeter.

The 15-year-old pitcher from Portage Central High School is ranked No. 1 in the country in the 2021 class by Prep Baseball Report and No. 4 by Perfect Game.
