Another NJ pro ball player has been called up to the Phillies! The Jersey roots don’t get any deeper than pitcher Mark Leiter Junior. The NJIT grad from Toms River is the son of former MLB pitcher Mark Leiter and nephew of Al Leiter. He’s in the bullpen amid lots of local fans, as the Phils and Mets are facing off. (We’ll have to add him to our list!)
