With the No. 3 pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, the Texas Rangers selected Kumar Rocker, a right-handed pitcher who formerly starred for Vanderbilt before pitching in the independent Frontier League ahead of this season's draft.
Rocker entered the 2021 draft as a top-rated prospect following a dominating college career and was chosen by the Mets with the 10th overall selection. New York walked away from a $6-million deal after medicals showed concerns with Rocker's shoulder and elbow.
