WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE
The Pirates signed Rodriguez just before the 2022 DSL season.  He has decent velocity now and his slider could become a plus pitch.  He’s developing a change.

2022
DSL:  0-0-0, 0.00 ERA, 2.14 WHIP, 2.1 IP, 7.7 BB/9, 7.7 K/9

Rodriguez made just two brief appearances.

Probably Rodriguez will return to the DSL in 2023, but he started the season on the 60-day injured list.
