What It’s Like To Hit A Home Run: Dropping Bombs With Brent Rooker

To get straight to the point, Brent Rooker is really good at hitting baseballs. Like, really good. He is, it turns out, one of the very best at it, as the Mississippi State junior currently leads the SEC in just about every offensive category the sport of baseball has to offer. Through 34 games, as a starter in all of them, he’s batting .448 with 56 hits, 56 RBI, 33 runs scored, 19 doubles and three triples. His one-base percentage is .548 and his slugging percentage is a ridiculous 1.008. To boot, he’s stolen 14 bases and been walked 22 times.
