Rooker hit.300/.333/.800 with three home runs in 20 at-bats for Team USA in the 2019 Premier 12.
In the opener, he hit a two-run homer off Dutch national team pitcher Jim Ploeger, and then went yard against South Korean pitcher Hyeon-jong Yang for the game’s sole run.
Then, with the US behind 2-1 in the seventh inning, he hit a game-winning home run off Sheng-Feng Wu with Erik Kratz at the plate.
He was tied for the tournament lead in dingers with MVP Seiya Suzuki, Jo Adell, Jonathan Jones, and Matt Clark, and tied for 5th in slugging with Clark. He received the honor of being chosen as the All-Star DH.
Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, there was no minor league season in 2020.
When Max Kepler was injured in early September, he was called up. On September 4th, he was hit by a Matthew Boyd pitch and then lined out in the fourth inning in his first MLB plate appearance against the Detroit Tigers.
Rooker left the game in the fifth inning when Byron Buxton came in and CF Jake Cave moved to the left to replace him. In his seven-game stint, he hit.316 (6 for 19) with one home run and five RBIs.
The Twins chose to give another prospect, Alex Kirilloff, the chance to make his major league debut as an outfielder in the Wild Card Series, so he did not play in the postseason.
