Texas Rangers Draft Clemson Tigers Signee Brock Porter in Shrewd Move

Texas Rangers drafted Michigan right-hander Brock Porter in the fourth round of the 2022 MLB Draft. Texas is trying to lure him away from Clemson. The team used their third-round pick to draft Kumar Rocker, who was selected in 2021 but didn't sign with the Mets. Texas offered Rockers $5.2 million, which is over $2.5 million below his slot value. Clemson would like to keep Porter, the Gatorade Player of Year and the top high school pitcher in America. Last year, pitcher Bubba Chandler left Clemson's campus to join the Pittsburgh Pirates.
