Body: Large, physical build, frame supports size, athletic body, room for more physical growth.
Hit: Mildly open stance, small leg kick for timing, small hand loop during load, longer swing path, quality extension from long arms.
Power: Carry tool. Raw, above-average, natural strength, some loft with an uphill plane, 100+MPH 104(max) exit velocities.
Field: Has good lateral movement, and is athletic for size. Footwork around the bag and movements at first base are more fluid compared to third base. Rodriguez projects to be a future first baseman.
Arm: Average. Throws from third tailed and conked out at times, but can throw from all angles. Double play turns from first, were more crisp and on line.
Run: Adequate for size, 7.22 60-Yard.
Summary - Comp: CJ Cron (Detroit Tigers) - When it's all said and done, Rodriguez will be hanging his hat on the bat, where he projects as a power hitting first baseman. Rodriguez has the build and physical tools to create the vision of a high slugging percentage first baseman, with his fair share of home runs. His quality physical power tool and significant raw power are currently his carry tool. His fielding at third base is solid, however he needs to polish it up if he wants to stick there long term. Rodriguez likely ends up a first baseman who could potentially see himself fulfilling a power role in the middle of a lineup.
vs Jesuit in SJS D1 playoff - Cal commit; played 1st base in this one, strong potentially quite physical body type, displayed fair actions around bag though a bit out of place, arm is good, natural position is catcher but with two D1 catchers in class ahead of him he may have to wait (Soderstrom & Carrigg), bat is main calling card and what drew Cal to him, showed pull tendency in this viewing with some length around the ball, balance was tipping to his front foot, didn't leave the infield in three at-bats but also competed well vs two D1 pitchers that Jesuit threw at him. More to learn in summer and junior year.
