Kumar Rocker News
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kumar Rocker (elbow) is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the 2023 season. The right-hander has been diagnosed with a torn ligament in his right elbow and will undergo Tommy John surgery. A tough blow to the 23-year-old who looked solid through his first four starts this season. Rocker held a 3.86 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 42/7 K/BB ratio over his 28 innings of work in High-A Hickory. He's expected to miss the rest of this season and the beginning of the 2024 campaign while recovering.
Rangers pitching prospect Kumar Rocker made his first start of the 2023 season with the High-A Hickory Crawdads. He went five innings deep, striking out eight batters and allowing just two hits. It's the 2022 first-round pick's first pro appearance, but he was elite in college with a 2.89 ERA as a Vanderbilt Commodore. While Rocker has an arsenal of four pitches, most of his success comes from the two-pitch mix of his elite slider and mid-90s fastball. However, he presents some durability concerns as his shoulder injury caused the Mets to leave him unsigned after they drafted him with their first-round pick in 2021. The Georgia native has bust potential, but an incredibly high ceiling should assuage dynasty league managers.
Texas Rangers starting pitching prospects and former Vanderbilt college teammates Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker both made their Cactus League debuts out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Rockies. Both pitched scoreless innings, with Leiter hitting a batter and striking out a hitter and Rocker allowing one hit. While Leiter struggled in 2022 at Double-A Frisco and Rocker has only pitched in the Arizona Fall League, both are names to keep on fantasy managers' radars in dynasty and keeper leagues.
