Wednesday comes as Mark Leiter Jr. faces his biggest audition for the Phillies

Mark Leiter Jr. is one of 16 rookies the Phillies have called up this season, and is perhaps the most surprising of the bunch. Bouncing between the bullpen and starting rotation, the son of former Phils starter Mark Leiter Sr. enters his final start with something to prove.

Leiter Jr. has flashed brilliance on the mound both as a starter and out of the pen. However, his inconsistencies ultimately haunt him. Wednesday is an opportunity for the 26-year-old from Toms River, NJ to add to his resume and compete for a starting job next year.
