The author of one of the greatest pitching performances in college baseball history already has baseball cards.

He's Kumar Rocker and he's a freshman for the Vanderbilt Commodores. He struck out 19 batters in a NCAA Tournament Super Regional on Saturday -- a 3-0 no-hitter that was just the eighth in the history of the event. If you need a record-book refresher, the MLB record for most strikeouts in any game is 20 and the record for most Ks in an MLB no-no is 17.

The 19-year-old won't be seen on the pro scene for a while, but he's already got a number of autographed cards for you to try and stockpile right now.

Here are some facts touting Panini America's latest baseball set, 2015 Panini Contenders, which arrives on Wednesday, Nov. 11, packing some prospect debuts and plenty of international, prep and college talents in their teams' colors.

54 -- There will be 54 players who are appearing on their first autographs in this one, according to the company, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Victor Robles among them. Guerrero is the son of the former big-leaguer and will aim to begin his MLB career in Canada as a Blue Jays signee. (His dad, of course, began as an Expo nearly 20 years ago back in 1996.) Robles is a highly touted Nationals outfielder.

2 -- That's the number of boxes in a case that will pack an autograph from either Cubs catcher Kyle Schwarber, Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager or Red Sox prospect Yoan Moncada. Schwarber will be seen in his Indiana Hoosiers gear but is already on the minds of many collectors as is Seager, who will be found as part of the product's USA Baseball contingent. Moncada is a new international signee who has very little cardboard so far.
