Organization Prospect Rankings

TRACK RECORD: Rodriguez ranked as Venezuela's top prospect in the 2019 international class and signed with the Dodgers for $2,667,500 on July 2. He was set to make his professional debut in 2020, but instead spent the year working out in the Dominican Republic after the coronavirus pandemic canceled the minor league season. He briefly participated in Dominican instructional league in the fall.

SCOUTING REPORT: Rodriguez was a lanky, contact-oriented center fielder when he signed, but his game has changed as he's started to fill out. He's added weight and strength and started focusing on hitting balls as far as he can with his newfound strength. While his power potential has ticked up to plus, he's lost his all-fields approach and become a pull-only hitter who is too aggressive at the plate. Rodriguez plays an adequate center field, but his average speed and growing body portend a possible move to a corner. He has the above-average arm strength for right field.

THE FUTURE: The Dodgers hope Rodriguez can rediscover his old swing and approach with a return to normalcy in 2021. He'll be 18 all of next season and still has a lot of development left.
TRACK RECORD: Rodriguez starred in showcase events for years and ranked as Venezuela's top prospect in the 2019 international class. The Dodgers locked on to Rodriguez early in the process and signed him for $2,667,500 on July 2.

SCOUTING REPORT: Rodriguez was one of the most complete players in his class with an exciting combination of hitting ability, power and athleticism. He takes a patient, all-fields approach and has advanced plate discipline for his age. He turns around velocity with his smooth, righthanded swing and has a natural ability to lift the ball for power, especially to right-center field. Rodriguez has a long track record of performing against older competition, and his approach and swing hold the promise of a potentially plus hitter with 20-home run power. Rodriguez is an above-average runner with the instincts to stick in center field. He has plenty of room to grow into his 6-foot-2, 175-pound frame and could move to a corner as he fills out. His above-average arm strength profiles in right field, if needed.

THE FUTURE: Rodriguez has enormous potential, but he will be only 17 the entire 2020 season and is many years away. He is set to start his pro career in the Dominican Summer League.
