OF Nicholas Rodriguez (South Elgin, 2026) showed some of the most improved numbers compared to last year’s Top Tier Scout Day. Rodriguez is listed as an athletic 5-foot-9, 155-pound frame with room to add strength. The right-handed hitter operates a narrow, slightly open setup with a toe-tap trigger. Has an upward bat path with intent to lift the ball. Rodriguez had an average batted ball distance of 269 feet (365 ft. max) with an average exit velocity of 84.4 mph (97.1 mph max EV). The outfielder is a clean mover with fluid action while having a quick, short arm action and posting an 83 mph velocity from the outfield. Rodriguez showed off his athleticism as he ran a 6.91 60.
Rodriguez is an athletic player that moves well, especially on the base paths. Bat-to-ball skills are quality with an inside-out swing. Drove multiple balls to the outfield against some decent pitching. His speed got him a triple in the fourth inning of today’s mid-day matchup.
