Brent Rooker had a very successful 2017 season at Mississippi State. He was named SEC Player of the Year, the first to ever win the award at Mississippi State, and has been awarded first team All-American by many different publications. He was a first round draft pick by the Minnesota Twins and has already had success at the minor league level.
Last night, he officially won the SEC’s Triple Crown, with the college baseball season coming to an end. Rooker is the first player to win the award since 1984, when Rafael Palmeiro won it.
Brent Rooker came into the year with high expectations, and he immediately exceeded them.
