Dylan Joseph Lesko (born September 7, 2003) is an American baseball pitcher in the Tampa Bay Rays organization.
Lesko attended Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. In 2021, he became the first junior to win the Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year after going 11–0 with a 0.35 earned run average (ERA) with 112 strikeouts in 60 innings.[1][2] He was also named the Gwinnett Daily Post Baseball Pitcher of the Year.[3][4] During the summer of 2021, he combined with other pitchers to throw a no-hitter in the Perfect Game All-American Classic at Petco Park.[5]
Lesko committed to Vanderbilt University to play college baseball.[6] His senior baseball season in 2022 ended when he tore the UCL in his pitching elbow, an injury that required Tommy John surgery, which he underwent on April 26 and was expected to sideline him until 2024.[7]
