WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE
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
DSL:  207/314/287, 87 AB, 4 2B, 1 HR, 10 BB, 26 K, 5-7 SB

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.

Rodriguez had only a limited debut.  Even if DSL stats were worth something, which they rarely are, he could still start to realize some of the perceived potential
