2025 Fantasy Outlook
Leiter had one of the most devastating splitters in the league in 2024, ranking second for that pitch type with a 56.5 percent whiff rate and .099 batting average allowed. The split-finger fueled the 33-year-old righty to a career-high 86 strikeouts in just 58 innings between the Cubs and Yankees. However, Leiter was not effective after the mid-season trade to New York, struggling to a 4.98 ERA and 1.71 WHIP with six home runs allowed over his final 21.2 frames. He's projected to take on a middle relief role for the Yankees in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

Loses arbitration hearing
Leiter lost his arbitration case against the Yankees on Saturday and will make $2.05 million in 2025, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Leiter posted a 4.98 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over 21.2 regular-season innings after being traded from Chicago to New York at last season's trade deadline. His underwhelming performance in pinstripes likely caused the arbitrators to side with the club and will ultimately result in him making $450,000 less than the $2.5 million he filed for. The 33-year-old righty is expected take on a role in middle relief for New York in 2025.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2018
Leiter re-signed with the Cubs on a minor-league deal last February and secured a spot on the Opening Day roster with a strong spring. After spending much of the 2022 season in a multi-inning relief role, the 32-year-old locked down setup duties for Chicago and finished the season with 28 holds (T-5th in the league). Leiter rode the success of his splitter (.134 BA, 48.2% whiff percentage) to career-best ratios and a 28.6% strikeout rate, with 65 of his 77 total strikeouts coming on the pitch. He threw the splitter at a career-high 34% clip, which was +11.3% difference from the season prior. Leiter's secondary offerings aren't as effective, but he mixes five pitches to keep hitters guessing. The right-hander also tallied four saves to give the Cubs another option to turn to when closing out games. Leiter, who is arbitration eligible for the first time, figures to reprise his setup role for the Cubs after he was recently tendered a contract for 2024.
