View Draft Report
Rodriguez signed with Arkansas out of high school but wound up being kicked back to Cypress JC. In between, he played in the Cape Cod League last year, where national evaluators got a good look at his solid-average receiving and blocking skills (although he struggled at the plate, hitting .221/.211/.221). His above-average arm is his best present tool. Rodriguez has a decent offensive anjcnjpproach and contact-oriented bat--he struck out in only 6 percent of plate appearances this spring.

Rodriguez committed early to Arkansas and flew a bit under the scouting radar until last November, when he had a good showing at the Jesse Flores Memorial All-Star Game, a staple of Southern California scouting. He has fairly advanced catch-and-throw skills for a high school backstop, and scouts project him to be an average defender with an average or slightly better arm. He has a strong 5-foot-11, 190-pound frame and a compact righthanded swing, and his line-drive bat showed improvement this spring. Rodriguez is an aggressive hitter who could grow into average power down the road.
