He struggled with command at first, but the Rangers had a plan in place to extend his development… and it has worked. He has flashed some excellent stuff of late and is being called up to face the Tigers in Detroit this Thursday.

The no. 2 overall pick in the 2021 draft struck out ten batters in his most recent start. Rangers need arms. I like it… this organization has placed a direct emphasis on developing young talent to supplement well paid veterans.

It’s such a massive breath of fresh air to have the Rangers actually developing their young talent. We had a whirlwind go on for nearly a decade where we just couldn’t develop talent. Hell I still think we hindered Jurrickson Profar’s development. (Although Profar has turned out to be a serviceable big leaguer) Leiter was going to be called up this season regardless or else he would have been available in the Rule 5 draft. It’s possible we swung and missed on the Kumar Rocker pick. I don’t like the Astros at all, but I respected the way they developed young stars the last 7-8 years and we took note from their playbook.

I think I had his dad’s rookie card in the 80s.
