2025 Fantasy Outlook

Leiter had some incredible moments in 2024, including a start Aug. 15 for Triple-A Round Rock where he struck out 11 batters for all the outs in a 3.2-inning start, and when he tied a record for most whiffs (20) by a Rangers starter 25 or under against the Angels on Sept. 7, but he was consistently inconsistent. Leiter logged three or more walks in 12 of his 22 starts and had three minor-league starts where he failed to get out of the second inning and another at the big-league level. He gave up five or more runs in four of his nine MLB appearances. His upper-90s fastball is a menacing pitch (133 Stuff+) that lends itself to moments of brilliance, but his command is poor enough that he can get chased early against any opponent. Leiter's name value, draft pedigree (second overall pick in 2021) and pure stuff will keep the acquisition cost a little higher than the results warrant. There's clear bullpen risk, ratio risk and an unpredictable nature that can lead to a miserable fantasy experience, but there's also breakout potential if he can improve his command and overall mindset on the mound.
