Top draft prospect Jack Leiter pitched a nine-inning no-hitter with 16 strikeouts for Vanderbilt on Saturday, retiring his final 27 batters.

Leiter, the son of 19-year big league pitcher Al Leiter, walked Braylen Wimmer to lead off the game but was perfect the rest of the way in a 5-0 victory over South Carolina.

He struck out Wimmer swinging at a 96 mph fastball to end the game, his 124th pitch. The 20-year-old sophomore was swarmed by teammates after the final pitch.

The right-hander improved to 5-0 with a 0.31 ERA in five starts. Leiter's no-hitter was the first for Vanderbilt since teammate Kumar Rocker dominated Duke as a freshman in the 2019 Super Regionals.
