Leiter's worst start was a 6.0 IP, 4 ER night in his first start, but other than that he has been lights out. His 1.97 ERA is 3rd in the National League, and his WHIP is 0.90. He already has logged a CG shutout, and he accounts for more than one-third of the Flash's wins by himself.
Of course, all of this is made even more impressive by the fact that Leiter is just 24 years old. If not for this young stud's prowess, the Flash's starting rotation would be a mess. It's no secret that Willie Rodriguez has been a bust and that Louie Dali isn't really an ace, despite having good stuff. Therefore, it's a very promising sign that Leiter is emerging into such a premium starter at such a young age.
As for the Flash themselves, they're trying their best to fend off the surging Washington D.C. Senators, who are winners of 7 straight. The Flash have a 3-game win streak of their own and maintain a 1.5 game lead in the NL East. Manager Sour Surfer predicted the Washington D.C. Senators would prove the toughest opposition within the division, and at this early junction in the season he has proven to be correct.
