Scouting report
Rodriguez is the second-best prospect the Pirates received in the multi-team Musgrove swap. He’s a switch-hitting catcher with good feel to hit, a rare combination. Despite that rare skill set, scouts are most excited about his defense. He’s solid across the board at catcher — receiving, moving laterally, and throwing — but he’s athletic enough that the Mets had given him time at every position other than shortstop before dealing him. His profile likely needs a little more power at some point, and he compares to Rafael Marchan and Gabriel Moreno at similar developmental stages. As an added bonus, Rodriguez’s Trackman data shows great bat-to-ball skills; despite his lack of top-end power, his 2019 90 mph average exit velocity was excellent for a teenager. If he grows into a little more oomph, that skill will play up. (Fall Instructional League)
