Rodriguez was one of the top amateur prospects in Venezuela in the 2017 class, standing out more for his game savvy than his raw tools or physicality. Rodriguez has a small, wiry build and a good performance record in games. Rodriguez is a switch-hitter with a quick, compact stroke, with high-contact skills to spray the ball all over the field without many strikeouts. Rodriguez has a good sense for the strike zone, with an offensive skill set tilted more toward getting on base than power, as he's mostly a singles hitter and probably won't ever be much of a home run threat. An above-average runner with basestealing savvy, Rodriguez is an athletic shortstop who fields his position well with a good internal clock. A lot of scouts expect Rodriguez to eventually slide over to second base due to his below-average arm and throwing mechanics. The Rangers have been sending their top July 2 signings to the Dominican Summer League in recent years, with Rodriguez likely to follow that same path.
