Vanderbilt could always count on Kumar Rocker, and therein lay the problem

Despite the outcome of Wednesday’s 9-0 loss to Mississippi State in the College World Series, Vanderbilt ace Kumar Rocker may have just ended the most impressive amateur career the Commodores have ever seen.

A projected top-10 pick in the upcoming MLB Draft, Rocker’s resume is second to none. He set the bar absurdly high during his freshman year, throwing a 19-strikeout no-hitter in an NCAA Super Regional en route to winning a national championship and College World Series MVP.
