An Open Letter from Jack Leiter. To the Texas Rangers, their fans, and the whole Rangers community, As I sit down to write this, I’m overwhelmed with thankfulness and pride. Becoming a member of the Texas Rangers family has been one of the most rewarding and transformational experiences of my life. I’d like to take this opportunity to offer my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported me on and off the pitch.
Thank you to the organisation for believing in me and providing me with an opportunity to grow, learn, and demonstrate my skills. You trusted me from the moment I was draughted, and that trust has driven me to work harder every day. Our coaches, staff, and leadership are unwavering in their dedication to encouraging growth and greatness. You’ve not only improved my pitching abilities, but also made me a better professional and person.
For the fans, your steadfast support has meant everything. Whether it was a high-pressure game or a difficult outing, your cheers have been my source of strength. The enthusiasm you bring to the ballpark, your faith in me despite my problems, and your devotion for this club are absolutely incredible. I play for you and always will.
Thank you to the entire Rangers community for creating an environment in which players like myself may thrive. You’ve built a culture that feels like home, where hard work, passion, and ambitions come together. You have accepted me as one of your own, for which I am eternally thankful.
This road has not been without hurdles, but each one has been overcome with the help of this great community. Your love and encouragement have helped me learn, grow, and become more resilient. As I look ahead, I am more determined than ever to give my all to this team, this city, and everyone who makes this organisation so great. I am pleased to be a Texas Ranger, and I will continue to honour this shirt and everything that it means.
I sincerely thank you.
With thanks and tenacity,
Jack Leiter
