The Kumar Rocker Jack Leiter power rankings

In 2021, that may just be the case. It’s no secret that Vanderbilt University has two studs in their rotation. First is Kumar Rocker, who in 2019 as a freshman, pitched a legendary 19 strikeout no-hitter. The now junior has been considered the consensus future number one overall pick for a while now. That may change though because of his teammate, Jack Leiter.

The son of former major league starting pitcher Al Leiter has not disappointed. Jack, who is a sophomore at Vanderbilt, also has the stuff to become the number one overall pick.

So far this season, both pitchers have made two starts.
