Vanderbilt's Jack Leiter threw a no-hitter in his first SEC start in a series-clinching 5-0 win over South Carolina in Nashville Saturday.
Leiter, who is the son of longtime MLB pitcher Al Leiter, was selected by the Yankees in 20th round of the 2019 MLB Draft, but he decided to go to college instead of signing out of high school away.
Against the Gamecocks, Leiter, a sophomore, tallied a career-high 16 strikeouts on 124 pitches, with the only baserunner coming when he walked the first batter of the game. It was Vanderbilt's first no-hitter since Leiter's teammate Kumar Rocker no-hit Duke in the College Baseball Super Regionals on June 8, 2019.
