Cam Leiter

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #85 prospect in 2025 draft
  School: Florida State Drafted/Committed: Never Drafted
  Age At Draft: 21.5
  
  BA Grade: 50/Extreme
  
  Leiter pitched to a 4.92 ERA and 80 strikeouts over 56.2 innings as a true freshman at Central Florida in 2023, then transferred to Florida State where he flashed immense upside and racked up 56 strikeouts over just seven starts and 35 innings until a shoulder injury ended his season prematurely. After initially trying to rehab the injury, Leiter later underwent surgery that kept him out of the 2025 season entirely. When healthy, Leiter has shown one of the more explosive pitch mixes in the class. His 94-96 mph fastball has touched 99 with strong running and riding life through the zone that led to a 30% miss rate in 2024. He has two breaking balls that flash plus potential. He favors a 78-82 mph hammer breaking ball with great spin and downward biting action, while his high-spin, high-80s power slider also looks like a consistent swing-and-miss offering. The slider will often blend into more of a cutter look at the top of its velocity band. Leiter also mixes an upper-80s changeup that becomes a bigger piece of his mix when facing lefthanded hitters. At 6-foot-5, 235 pounds, Leiter has a pro body to go with his exciting pure stuff. His father, Kurt, played four seasons in the Orioles minor league system and his cousin, Jack, currently pitches for the Rangers.

• Ranked #26 prospect in 2025 draft
  School: Florida State Committed/Drafted: Never Drafted
  Age At Draft: 21.5
  
  BA Grade/Risk: 55/Extreme
  
  In his true freshman season at Central Florida in 2023 Leiter pitched his way to a 4.92 ERA with 80 strikeouts across 56.2 innings. He transferred to Florida State in 2024, where he made just seven starts and threw 35 innings, but flashed his immense upside and racked up 56 strikeouts. An injury ended his season and created uncertainty for how much he’ll pitch in 2025. When healthy, Leiter’s fastball has been up to 99 mph with run and ride through the zone, while his high-spin, high-80s power slider is a true swing-and-miss pitch. Leiter also features a low-80s curveball with big-time depth and sharp, downward biting action. His mid-80s changeup is a viable fourth pitch. His health status creates plenty of uncertainty, but pitch for pitch Leiter is as exciting as any arm in the class.
