Vanderbilt star Kumar Rocker will begin his professional career with the New York Mets after being selected No. 10 overall in the 2021 MLB draft.
Rocker and Jack Leiter were arguably the most-hyped pair of teammates in college baseball history. The former put himself on the map as a freshman during the 2019 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship when he tossed a no-hitter with 19 strikeouts in the Commodores' 3-0 win over Duke in the super regionals.
That same year in the College World Series, the 21-year-old allowed one run with 11 strikeouts in a Game 2 win over Michigan.
