Brent Rooker Hits 30th Homer In Season Finale
1 year agoOakland Athletics outfielder/designated hitter Brent Rooker went 3-for-3 with his 30th home run, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in the season finale on Sunday, a 7-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Rooker was one of the few bright spots for a bad A's team in 2023, and he finishes the season with a .246/.329/.488 slash line with an .817 OPS, career-high 30 home runs, 20 doubles, a triple, 69 RBI, four stolen bases and 61 runs scored in 137 games and 526 plate appearances. He made his first All-Star team and bested his previous career-high in homers (nine) by a wide margin. The 28-year-old had a rough stretch in the middle of the season after a white-hot start, but he picked things up a bit after the All-Star break and into the end of the season.
