2024 Fantasy Outlook
Known heading into 2023 as one of the most alluring sluggers in the lower minors, Rodriguez essentially treaded water at High-A. His 16 home runs, .223 ISO and 36.5 Hard% were at or maybe slightly below expectations over 99 games, and his 29.5 percent strikeout rate did nothing to lessen long-term hit tool concerns. He hit .287 with a 26.5 percent strikeout rate in 42 games after the All-Star break while maintaining an elite 21.4 percent walk rate, so there were signs of improvements down the stretch. Until further notice, Rodriguez projects as a three-true-outcomes slugger who will be better in OBP leagues than batting average leagues and could run into a wall against upper-level pitchers who can locate and throw multiple offerings for strikes. Unlike most corner-outfield sluggers, Rodriguez has enough speed to steal double-digit bases early in his career. He can handle center field in a pinch and has a plus arm that would fit well in right field. Rodriguez is already on the 40-man roster, but he probably won't be big-league ready until sometime in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Hot start at Double-A
Rodriguez is hitting .391 with three home runs and a 1.548 OPS through seven games for Double-A Wichita.
ANALYSIS
It's a small sample and he as a .545 BABIP, but it's a promising start to the season. He had an .870 OPS with 16 home runs and 20 stolen bases at High-A last season. Rodriguez has tantalizing power but needs to reduce his strikeouts (29.5 K% last season), so it is a little worrisome his hot streak also comes with a 29 percent strikeout rate.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Among legitimate prospects, nobody hit the ball hard more regularly than Rodriguez last season, as his 50.0 Hard% and 10.0 Soft% are elite marks that were generally only matched by big leaguers on rehab assignments. This is what 80-grade raw power looks like. Unfortunately, Rodriguez needed season-ending knee surgery after slashing .272/.492/.551 with nine home runs, a 28.6 BB% and a 26.1 K% in 47 games at Single-A. The big question going forward will be what kind of strikeout rates Rodriguez logs against High-A and Double-A pitching. His contact in the zone was fringe-average and he was too passive, but he also rarely chased bad pitches. It's possible that Rodriguez develops into a cleanup hitter who is regularly near the top of Statcast leaderboards, and it's also possible he is more of a three-true-outcome type who hits fifth or sixth due to a propensity to strike out.
