The rocket toss has not been used much the past several seasons except perhaps an occasional temporary resurgence here and there. I think defenses have gotten much better at defending (particularly, becoming adept at keeping MLB clean) and we have not had strong inside run game in a while, which is why you don’t see it much. Under Nesbit, GT ran it all the time, but Nesbit and Dwyer were big inside run threats so the defense had to clog the interior, which made it easier to block on the rocket toss.
