The Greatest 1-2 Punch In College Baseball HISTORY

[@smittywerbenjaegermanjense2350]

As a Rangers fan I hope that at least one of these two pans out. It would really suck if neither ever did given all the potential talent they have displayed.

[@dundalis]

While it would suck they also have two more potential high end starters in Porter and White if he can get his velocity back

[@slimconfucius]

The Rangers will be lucky if any of them pan out, the Rangers are awful at developing pitching and pitching prospects are high risk to begin with

[@hustleoutthebox]

agree

[@joshuastar77]

Thank goodness we bought a rotation. But ya, hopefully, one of the prospects develops.

[@ILoveMisty1985]

It's interesting that the Rangers managed to win a World Series without Leiter or Rocker. Who knows if they will ever pan out?

[@hustleoutthebox]

that’s the biggest question but if they do OMG

[@jayballauer8353]

They don't need to.

[@turkeybowlwinkle4440]

Right now it doesn't look good but you never know.

[@sammycampbell1654]

It's interesting they were able to do it with 11 total starts from DeGroom and Scherzer.

[@dundalis]

@@jayballauer8353Rangers rotation is ancient and injury prone. While they could spend their way to more starters, a quality young starter or two out of the farm would actually be huge for the future of the Rangers rotation

[@EWlTZ]

Love these two and its crazy cause a few years earlier.. Vandy had Walker Buehler and Carson Fulmer. Second name might not catch some peoples ear but that dude was an absolute unit in 14 and 15. Great pitching history in Nashville.

[@RainbowXplosionn]

Former White Sox great Carson Fulmer

[@hustleoutthebox]

those two dominated as well great point

[@michaelmeola3753]

Jack's dad is a good dude. He lived near a hotel I worked at in Summit nj and would come in and let everyone wear his world series ring. Al was cool with people taking pics and nice to everyone.

[@hustleoutthebox]

awesome 💪🏼

[@aaroncoonley9910]

Not sure where you got Kumar’s freshman stats (shown at 1:30 mark)from but they are wrong. His season ERA was 3.25 which includes postseason so if he was so dominant in the postseason how did his era increase as compared to the regular season? Not to mention his SEC only ERA as a freshman was north of 4.00

[@hustleoutthebox]

it’s very important to read if you look at the 1:30 mark the box with his stats CLEARLY says regular season.

[@aaroncoonley9910]

​@@hustleoutthebox They are still wrong. He went 6-4 with a 4.03 ERA in 10 starts (26 ER in 58 IP) in SEC play. Before SEC play he made 1 start (1-1/3 IP with 5 ER) and 7 1/3 IPs with 1 ER out of the pen. Add all that up and you get 66-2/3 IP and 32 ER. Do the math and you get an ERA of 4.32, which is higher than 2.17. Just admit you made a mistake.

[@peterthegreat6687]

Jack has been struggling horribly and rucker still has a ton to learn so i wouldn't count them into a mlb rotation yet. Hopefully they turn a corner.

[@jaleeldean8407]

Leiter actually looked pretty good at the end of the minor league season, rocker looked good as well before his injury

[@hustleoutthebox]

Yeah I agree point of video was to relive their vandy days and just assume they'd eventually live up to the hype

[@DontDrinkthatstuff]

Rocker looked good pre injury. Leiter looks very meh.

[@samueldownie2187]

At some point scouts are going to have to start valuing durability more in starting pitching prospects. There is only so much room on a roster, no team can field enough relievers with a starting rotation of guys who can’t go 5+ innings. I understand the game is evolving in such a manner that stuff>durability, but again, there’s only so many spots on the roster. It would be impossible to fill the bullpen with guys who all have elite stuff. Durable starting pitchers and relievers who can eat innings are sorely needed. And as we’ve seen with Rocker and Leiter, there isn’t a guarantee that having good stuff in college translates to the majors. If you need Tommy John before you even get to MLB, something went wrong.

[@KingoftheJungle214]

If these two can pan out the rangers very well could be a dynasty. Or they could be traded

[@hustleoutthebox]

absolutely it could be very scary if these 2 pan out + brock porter & Langford and Carter in the lineup everyday 🤯

[@buco1719]

They might not be rotation starters but I wouldn’t be surprised if these two become studs in the bullpen, Rocker as the next closer and leiter as long relief

[@hustleoutthebox]

I keep saying that especially for Leiter with the stuff he can slide right into the back end of the bullpen at this right that might happen just top picks are given a longer lease you know

[@tonychen3628]

I may not see them as aces in the making anymore(especially they are close to age-24 season and still fighting their way in double-a, and Rocker had TJ last year), but if they can even pan out as a middle rotation or solid bullpen guys, I would love to see them contribute for sure.

[@hustleoutthebox]

absolutely agree 100%

[@nonospot838]

Rocker has closer stuff and can be fast tracked to that role once he recovers from TJ if thats what the Rangers want/need.

[@hustleoutthebox]

both him and Leiter!

[@Poindexterous]

@@hustleoutthebox​ i feel like Leiter more fits that role personally

[@ratmfan41]

Unfortunately the Rangers do not have a very good history of developing pitchers in the minors. I hope they both work out but given the injury history of Rocker and the lack of progression with Leiter, it looks like 2 more pitchers that might not develop in their system. Porter is still a few years away as well from what I hear.

[@hustleoutthebox]

absolutely agree. But these kids are so talented something tells me they find a way to figure it out.

[@the_allshow6845]

That was the old rangers. We now got the coaches for the job that could develop this yougins like no other, plus we got vet pitchers that will be perfect coaches to them.

[@dundalis]

Rockers TJ surgery will either fix him or break him

[@taylorglover2717]

Cole Regans immediately comes to mind. How did the royals turn him to an ace immediately? Rangers couldn't unlock his potential. He started throwing a new slider after the trade for Aroldis Chapman.

[@reybat4969]

[@Hexagon2x]

not judging or anything but at the 5 minute mark you talked about vanderbilt vs nc state. the phone call to tim corbin wasnt true because they ended up playing the game but nc state had 9 players (due to most of them having c19)

[@hustleoutthebox]

hey appreciate the comment yes you are right to a certain extend. The game your speaking of was game 1 of that two game set to go to the final. The final decided game was a no contest. So yes what I said was true.

[@brandybrown8296]

I'm a lifelong fan of the Rangers so humor me as I continue to be on a WS high. Leiter looked good after returning from being shutdown mid-late summer. His stuff plays and his makeup isn't in question. Rocker looked very good prior to having TSJ. I like to imagine a world where these two figure it out and are in the rotation by 2025(Rocker on limited innings until 26). This happens in a world where Jung and Carter just keep growing and Langford is better than either of them. That level of youth/talent with the established stars/vets we have? This world lets me keep this WS high going for a nice window of seasons.

[@hustleoutthebox]

if all pans out especially with some of the long shots like Leiter things can be really scary for Texas

[@brandybrown8296]

@@hustleoutthebox - now imagine that about the time Rocker & Leiter are established in the rotation(say 2026) the kid with the loudest tools in their system, international signee Sebastian Walcott, comes up and hits. Oooof!

[@Thatdude20]

Do you rank them #1 or Cole and Bauer at UCLA as greatest 1-2 punch in college baseball?

[@hustleoutthebox]

very great point. Here's my option #1 Bauer could very well have been the most dominant college pitcher ever. But as far as the DUOS I just say Leiter and Kumar because they pitched in a more dominant conference 1 and 2 its just hard to judge based on a different era of baseball when Kumar and Leiter pitched players were much bigger and stronger if that makes sense.

[@reymonnj]

realistically when do you think these two hit the majors?

honestly might never happen at this pace

i can understand that feeling. Having talent with such high hopes pan out is good for baseball so i’m hoping your right!

Seems they're struggling so why suggest a dominant rotation?

Looks like both these picks are bust. Leiter can’t get anyone out and rocker is often injured and already had tommy John this season so he’s out for at least 2 years. Never draft college pitchers. The managers don’t take care of the kids. Rocker should of never thrown 130 pitches.

Oh God here we go. Every team that wins a championship is supposed to become a dynasty now ? SMH. First it was Houston they proved to be a bust. Dodgers couldn’t win a title to save their lives. Atlanta is best regular season team. Now the Rangers ? This is like calling every athlete the “GOAT”. Congrats to Texas on their title victory but can we pump the breaks on the dynasty talk. Winning records and postseason appearances isn’t what makes a team a dynasty. Winning at least 3 championships in a decades time is the only thing that creates dynasty’s.

I hate houston but they are a dynasty. 6 straight years in the alcs with 2 championships.

[@billbills7158]

@@reybat4969 you can lie to yourself all you want but we both know Houston was cheating baseball from 2017-2019. So their 2017 World Series title is null and void. It doesn’t count. Of course the MLB is going to put it in the record books it’s bad for the league to have a cheating scandal as bad as Houston had one. As far as the fans go I can guarantee you most of them won’t count the 2017 title. Therefore they have 1 title. 1 title in 6 appearances is an embarrassment not a dynasty.

[@MichaelCochran21]

In the Rangers' case it's because they are so young everywhere. Carter, Langford, Heim and Jung will be a dominant core for years. Seager and Garcia are only 30. Their core is cheap which will allow them to fill out the rest of the team. The Rangers will win another two Series in the next 3-4 years.
