Athletics’ Brent Rooker among baseball’s top sluggers in early going

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:22:02 GMT

Where Rooker is concerned, that’s not part of the process. And process, to Rooker, is everything.“Right now I’m trying to keep the same routine I’ve had going,” Rooker said Tuesday night before the Athletics hosted the Seattle Mariners at the Coliseum. “I’ll keep riding with that. I’ll go back and watch each at-bat for checkpoints I make sure I hit. As long as those things are in place, and I’m in the positions I want, then I think I’ll continue to feel comfortable.”Whether Rooker is simply riding a hot streak and due to fall back to earth or if he’s suddenly blossomed as a major league hitter at age 28 remains to be seen.But it’s been one of the few bright spots in the Athletics 6-23 start.C...
