Overview

Rodriguez didn’t sign for a big bonus, but he was considered a possible sleeper, an outfielder with good size and five-tool potential.

2022-24

Rodriguez was hurt and missed nearly the first two months of the season.  Once he was able to play, he got off to a fast start, but then slumped.  He went 9-for-19 in his first six games, then 9-for-68 after that.  He played all three outfield positions. Back in the DSL in 2023, Rodriguez had a solid season, batting 255/354/388. His plate discipline wasn’t good, as he had 11 walks and 32 strikeouts.

Rodriguez went back to the DSL again in 2024 and regressed, hitting 218/355/299. His plate discipline remained weak. He played mostly in the outfield corners, with a few games at first.
