Rocker vs. Leiter

Post by katmai »

Here is an interesting article comparing Rocker and Leiter. An informal survey of GM's, scouts, and executives favored Leiter over Rocker 25-3.
I particularly liked this quote about Leiter: "But once he locks in, it's four plus pitches, life to the fastball and wipeout stuff. Younger hitters have zero chance."
I just hope they both stay healthy and continue to dominate. It has been a joy to watch, and I hope lasts through the CWS.
