Vanderbilt SP Kumar Rocker Tops Kiley McDaniel's ESPN 2021 MLB Draft Big Board

The ink is still drying on the 2020 Major League Baseball draft, but there is already a focus on next year's class.

ESPN's Kiley McDaniel has released his way-too-early look at the top prospects available in the 2021 draft.

Standing at the head of the class is Vanderbilt pitcher Kumar Rocker. The right-hander is best known for throwing the first no-hitter in an NCAA Super Regional when he struck out 19 Duke hitters last June.

McDaniel did note Rocker isn't in the Bryce Harper- or Stephen Strasburg-level of prospects who were essentially pegged to go No.
