Kuamr Rocker made his MLB debut for the Rangers in a win over the Mariners.
As the Texas Rangers wind down a disappointing 2024 MLB season, all they have to look forward to is Jacob deGrom’s season debut and thinking of ways to bounce back in 2024. Right before deGrom takes to the mound, rookie pitcher Kumar Rocker made his first start in the big leagues. It went well. He could be a huge part of their future.
Rocker’s journey to the MLB has featured plenty of twists and turns. He was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 38th round of the 2018 draft and by the New York Mets with the 10th overall pick three years later. But he didn’t stick around with a franchise until the Rangers selected him with the third overall pick in the 2022 draft. The 24-year-old worked his way up the minor-league ranks this season and contributed to a win in his first taste of MLB action.
