Rangers' Jack Leiter: Makes third spring start
Leiter allowed two runs on five hits while striking out four over 3.2 innings in Friday's spring start against the Mariners.
Leiter navigated the first two innings without much stress before the right-hander was touched for solo home runs in the third and fourth innings. He ran his pitch count to 61 (40 strikes) and didn't walk a batter for the first time this spring during his third Cactus League start. Leiter told Kane McCutchen of Yahoo! Sports that he was focused on working on specific pitches, as is the case for many pitchers during spring outings. On Friday, it was his changeup, which he threw 10 times (three swinging strikes) after using it just twice in his previous outing. Leiter has a 5.14 ERA with three walks, six strikeouts and three homers allowed over seven spring innings.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Inefficient start Saturday
Leiter allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings in Saturday's Cactus League start against the Dodgers.
Leiter needed 45 pitches to get those four outs, spread across three different innings. The three up-and-downs were a positive this early in camp, but the right-hander allowed three extra-base hits, including a Dalton Rushing home run in the first inning, and he managed to throw just 24 strikes. Leiter also featured more of the cutter he's been working on during the offseason, delivering seven of them, so the results may be less important than the process in this outing.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Introduces cutter
Leiter worked on adding a cutter to his arsenal during the offseason, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. "You're not looking for swing and misses with it, per se," he said. "It's more to just finish at-bats quicker, which is what I've been needing in order to be more efficient."
Leiter is toying with the cutter grip he learned from Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet this offseason, when the two worked out together in Tennessee. Leiter introduced the pitch in his spring debut Monday, throwing two of them and inducing a flyout and groundout. Efficiency has been an issue for Leiter, although the right-hander showed some improvement in that area over the second half of 2025.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Rotation spot safe
Leiter likely has a secure spot in the starting rotation and will not be part of a competition this spring, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
As recently as two weeks ago, Leiter was viewed as part of a crew competing for two available spots in the rotation. The right-hander, who is entering his second full season with the club, will join Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi and newly acquired MacKenzie Gore in the Opening Day rotation. Leiter had some rocky stretches early in 2025 but showed improvement over the second half, when he posted a 3.28 ERA and dropped his walk rate to 3.66 BB/9 from 4.4 prior to the All-Star break.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Fans 10 in seven excellent innings
Leiter (10-10) earned the win Friday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out 10.
In what was his final start of the season, Leiter went out with a bang while matching a season high in strikeouts. It was also the first time he fired seven innings since Aug. 23 against Cleveland. Leiter proved to be an effective starter during his first full year in the major leagues, though he struggled with walks and was hit hard at times. Despite posting a superb .222 opponents' batting average, Leiter managed a more modest 3.86 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 148:67 K:BB across 151.2 frames.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Hit around in 10th loss
Leiter (9-10) was charged with the loss Saturday against the Marlins, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
The eight hits allowed tied a season high for Leiter, who permitted greater than three runs for the first time since his June 17 start against the Royals. The right-hander has still emerged as a reliable member of Texas' rotation for the most part in 2025, throwing at least five innings in 19 of his 28 outings. Leiter's final appearance of the year is set to come next weekend in Cleveland, one into which he'll carry a 3.92 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 138:66 K:BB over 144.2 frames.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Fades in ninth loss
Leiter (9-9) allowed six runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out four over 6.2 innings to take the loss versus the Astros on Monday.
Leiter gave up a two-run home run to Zach Cole in the fifth inning just after the Rangers had grabbed their first lead of the game. Leiter was then charged with two more runs in the seventh, though mistakes by the Rangers' defense throughout the game allowed the right-hander to still secure a quality start. He's given up no more than three earned runs in each of his last 15 starts, though six of those outings have been shorter than five innings. Leiter is at a decent 3.82 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 134:65 K:BB through 139 innings across 27 starts this season. He is tentatively projected for a home matchup versus the Marlins this weekend.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Labors against MIL
Leiter didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts across 4.2 innings.
Leiter's seven hits allowed were his most in 12 starts, and his four Ks were his second fewest during that stretch. Tuesday's outing snapped a streak of three consecutive quality starts. The 25-year-old has a 3.81 ERA and 130:64 K:BB across 132.1 innings this season. He's on track to face the Astros his next time out.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Quality start wasted Wednesday
Leiter (9-8) took the loss Wednesday as the Rangers were downed 2-0 by the Diamondbacks, giving up two runs on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out eight.
The 25-year-old right-hander delivered his third straight quality start, and eighth of the season, on 99 pitches (64 strikes), but Leiter got no run support from the Texas offense. In nine outings since the All-Star break, Leiter has posted a 2.66 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 57:24 K:BB over 47.1 innings as he establishes himself as a key part of the team's rotation plans for the present and future. Leiter is scheduled to make his next start at home early next week against the Brewers.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Delivers quality start in win
Leiter (9-7) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Friday.
Leiter had some struggles with short starts earlier in August, but he closed out the month with a pair of wins, both of which were quality starts. He's also racked up at least seven strikeouts in five of his last eight outings. For the season, the right-hander is now at a 3.77 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 118:59 K:BB through 121.2 innings over 24 starts. The 25-year-old is projected to make his next start at Arizona.
