When smart MLB teams look for their next generation of pitchers, the first place they look is Tim Corbin’s Vanderbilt program.
Following in the footsteps of former Vanderbilt aces David Price, Sonny Gray and Walker Buehler, the Commodores have two new aces ready to send to the pros in Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker.
It wouldn’t be a stunner to see the two Commodore pitchers Leiter and Rocker go 1-2 in the upcoming draft, as the two pitchers are both up for the Golden Spikes Award, given annually to the nation’s best college player.
Leading up to the draft, MLB has produced a video highlighting Leiter and Rocker and Vanderbilt’s strong history of producing elite pitchers.
