9/11/24	Yankees' Mark Leiter Jr. sees encouraging signs despite home run issues.

He also knows the bright side: There are a few weeks before the regular season ends and October begins. “The good thing is we still have some time,” Leiter said before the Yankees finished a series with the Royals in The Bronx on Wednesday.

3/11/24	Cubs embracing the next pitching trend: splitters. Until recently, the splitter was somewhat of an old school pitch. Mark Leiter Jr. was the only Cubs pitcher who featured it in his arsenal last year at the major-league level – although his is more of a fork ball. “I was lucky,” Leiter said.

Opponents hit just .079 off the pitch and had an expected batting average of .095 on it, per Baseball Savant. No pitch in baseball — with a minimum of 100 plate appearances ending on a pitch — was more effective. “It's a pitch that has become him,” catcher Yan Gomes said.
