Bruno Stadium in Troy, N.Y., Saturday, June 4, 2022, prior to his first start for the Tri-City ValleyCats of the Class A independent Frontier League. Rucker was the 10th pick in last year’s MLB draft by the New York Mets but did not sign a contract when the Mets had concerns about his pitching arm. Rocker signed a contract with Tri-City that goes until about two weeks before the next MLB draft in July. (AP Photo/John Kekis)
