Scout’s note
Taken 35th overall in 2017, Rooker didn't stick until his age-28 season — then hit 30, 39, and 30 homers across three years for the A's. The .200 start to 2026 comes with 108.7 mph contact, which is why the engine isn't buying the slump. Power like this rarely asks permission twice.
The Wire
▼ On the field: Fans and analysts note he is out for the season after knee surgery following an ineffective year.
△ On cardboard: Collectors share pulls of his numbered Topps parallels such as gold foil to 50 and mini diamonds to 75.
