Jack Leiter (P - TEX)
4/17/26 10:01 AM - Jack Leiter: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player. If you read my posts regularly, you know by now that I have an aversion to young pitchers. Some of them are outstanding from the start, but the majority need time to learn their craft. Well, it looks like Jack Leiter has finally learned his craft, turning himself into a pitcher and not just a thrower off the mound. His first taste of the majors in 2024 did not go well. Last season he had his ups and downs, especially during the first half of the season. But the Rangers stuck with him and the more experience he got, the better he became. The success he had in the second half of the 2025 season has carried over into 2026, making Leiter an up-and-coming dynasty player.

Parker Messick (P - CLE)
4/17/26 3:47 AM - Rookie pitcher Parker Messick comes within 3 outs of ending Cleveland's 45-year no-hitter drought. Rookie left-hander Parker Messick came within three outs of ending Cleveland’s 45-year drought without a no-hitter. Instead, he became the second Guardians pitcher in eight months to fall short in the ninth inning. “I did my best. Maybe next time,” Messick said after Cleveland’s 4-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Leody Taveras led off the ninth with a grounder that just eluded diving second baseman Juan Brito and went into right field for a single to break up Messick's no-hit bid. Cleveland still has the longest current gap between no-hitters of any major league franchise. The team’s most recent one was Len Barker’s perfect game on May 15, 1981, against the Toronto Blue Jays.
