Overall: Emmanuel Rodriguez was the top guy in the Twins' 2019 J2 class. The Dominican outfielder signed for $2.5 million. He has one of the best swings in the class and stays direct to the ball while also generating loft and showing an ability to drive the baseball. He was playing center as an amateur but his future will be in right field where he can show off his above average arm. He's going to fill out, and reports say he's already added significant strength and mass to the frame already while working out at home during the shutdown. All of Rodriguez's tools are at least average, but there's a chance the hit and power tools can grow to above-average or even plus. Rodriguez has the skills to be a big league regular, and one of the better hitters in the lineup when he gets to the show.
