Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Trevor Hooth
Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 245 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 IFA
RuleV: 2020
Physical Description: Has a stocky, well built frame that will help him endure the tough life of a catcher. There isn't any room for more physical projection.
Hit: Square stance. Keeps feet close together pre-load. Stands tall with hands by his head. Utilizes a small leg kick as a trigger. His quick hands couple with a compact swing to help him make contact. His feel for barrel isn't very good. Because of that when he gets bat to ball it can lead to lots of foul balls. Likes to jump at first pitch fastballs. Shows some pitch recognition skills. Can spray the ball to all fields. Grade: 40
Power: There's not a ton of power to be had. He can run into some homers when he pulls the ball, but any power is likely going to be gap to gap rather than over the fence. Grade: 40
Field: He moves and reacts very well behind the plate. Great at blocking pitches. Grade: 55
Arm: Arm has all the traits you could want to be plus. It's not only a cannon, but it's accurate too Grade: 60
Run: There's not much speed here. When he finds a gap, don't hold your breath for a triple. Won't steal any bases either. He's agile defensively, which is more important than his speed as a catcher. Grade: 20
Overall: This is a glove first profile, which isn't rare from the catcher positon. His defense and arm are really good. His bat is not quite there. He'll never be a power guy, and there's a chance he might not hit for much average either. The defensive side of things might just be good enough to give Rodriguez a chance in the big leagues.
