In our last installment, we covered Florida RHP Jackson Kowar. This time, we profile a prolific arm from the high school ranks, Georgia prospect Kumar Rocker. Rocker, the 6’5″ 18-year-old, brings big time upside, along with his power fastball.
Long considered the potential 1st overall pick of this draft class, Rocker has slipped to the middle of the first round entering the 2018 season. Still widely considered a top prep arm, Rocker may be a victim of “prospect fatigue”, and could play his way out of Seattle with a solid spring.
A Vanderbilt commit, Rocker best tool is his power fastball.
