Kumar Rocker just may be in the middle of his own legendary story.

The New York Mets drafted Rocker on Sunday, making him the 10th overall pick in the first round of the 2021 Major League Baseball draft.

Anyone who's been following Rocker's trajectory is likely only surprised that he wasn't snatched up sooner. His high school career saw his pitches clocking speeds in the high 90s and he only got better in college, earning the title of Most Outstanding Player during the 2019 College World Series and being named the Baseball America Freshman of the Year that same year.
