In the 2021 MLB Draft, Jack Leiter was selected second overall in the first round by the Texas Rangers. During his time at Vanderbilt, the sophomore found success over his two seasons, including a solid campaign in year two. Leiter wrapped up his sophomore season by being tabbed as a unanimous first-team All-American while being selected as a finalist for the Dick Howser Trophy and Golden Spikes Award.

Four people have been arrested, and more than a dozen weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition seized at a downtown Denver hotel that is close to several events planned in conjunction with the upcoming Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Officers responding to a tip searched two rooms at the Maven Hotel, a block from Coors Field, on Friday night. Three men and one woman in their 40s were arrested, and two vehicles were impounded to be searched for evidence. The recovered weapons included several rifles. So far, investigators have not found any evidence to suggest the group was plotting a mass shooting.
