Before the 2021 MLB draft Kumar Rocker was rated the number one prospect and Jack Leiter, his teammate at Vandy was rated number two, or close to it.
The Rangers manage to draft Leiter in ‘21 and due to shoulder issues able to draft Rocker number 3 in 2022.
You know the stories of Rocker needing TJ and Leiter a tweak in his mechanics to be more consistent and to better control his FB.
Right now they look like good bets to start 2025 in the Rangers’ rotation. At Frisco Rocker has an ERA of 0.41 or something like that. And Leiter is missing bats at AAA.
