With the third overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, the Texas Rangers have selected Kumar Rocker. Rocker joins his former Vanderbilt teammate Jack Leiter, who was drafted by the Rangers in the first round last year.
“He’s a five-tool shortstop left-handed bat. We project him to remain as a shortstop defensively. But he does it all. He throws. He’s a plus runner. He’s gonna hit and hit for power. He’s got the best swing in the draft or one of the best swings in the draft. He’s got everything in front of him. And a tremendous family and support system that will work in concert with our people to get the most out of Jackson and his career these next few years.”“This is obviously the No.
I would liken it to deciding what to order from a five-star restaurant. This was a very good class. We whittled it down to five players. We had advocates and rationale for taking any one of the five players but ultimately you are only allowed to come home with one of them and we picked our favorite one.”“It’s obviously huge that we project him to stay at short. He does so much well defensively. He’s got an above-average arm.
