From the Athletic: Jack Leiter was little more than a toddler when he approached a preschool classmate and asked, “What team does your dad play for?” That is how ingrained baseball was in the Leiter family. That is how normalized the expectation of becoming a major-league pitcher always felt. “I just thought everybody played baseball,” Leiter said Wednesday at Comerica Park. “For the 5-year-old me it was an expected thing. As I got older it was a dream, a goal, and then you start to visualize it, and then it becomes a reality.”
