Atlanta Braves 2018 MLB Draft Targets: Kumar Rocker
Being Indian myself - this potential draft pick means quite a bit to me. It’s obvious that Kumar is the son of a former NFL player as he stands an imposing 6’5” on the mound coming in around 250 pounds, but he’s also the son of Lalitha Rocker - an Indian woman, therefore making me a little excited about his career. Kumar came into the season as the #1 ranked player in his class according to Perfect Game. At 18 years of age Kumar was harnessing the inner athlete in him - firing off 98 MPH fastballs with run, a plus slider, and a developing change-up, making him an extremely intriguing pitcher.
