The Texas Rangers tonight selected right-handed pitcher Jack Leiter in the first round (second overall) of the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft. This year marks just the third time the Rangers have ever picked as high as second overall in the draft, the team’s earliest such pick since 1974.
Leiter, 21, has pitched the last two seasons at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. In his sophomore season in 2021, he went 11-4 with a 2.13 ERA (26 ER/110.0 IP) over 18 games/starts, averaging 14.6 strikeouts per 9 innings with a 0.845 WHIP figure while holding opponents to a .129/.242/.250/.492 (48-372) slash line with 179 strikeouts and 45 walks. Leiter’s 179 strikeouts tied teammate Kumar Rocker led all of NCAA Division I this past season, and he also ranked among circuit leaders in innings (2nd), starts (T3rd), strikeouts per 9 innings (4th)
Welshman makes world darts history.
Former rugby union hooker Gerwyn Price – the first Welshman to make the world darts championship final – and two-time champion Gary Anderson insist they will put past tensions aside when they clash for the $1 million first prize. Price lived up to his Iceman nickname as he came from 3-1 down to beat England s Stephen Bunting by six sets to four in the first PDC world championships semifinal at London’s Alexandra Palace on Saturday (Sunday NZ time).
