Scouting Report
Rodriguez was selected by the Brewers in the sixth round of the 2021 MLB Draft. He came out of Florida Southwestern State Junior College, which means you can include him on the growing list of JuCo pitchers who have succeeded or are showing signs of future success in the Brewers system. Rodriguez made his MLB debut this season, pitching to mixed results, especially struggling the second time through the order. None of this is out of the ordinary for a 22-year-old, though, and he showed in Nashville that there’s still plenty of reason to monitor him as a potential rotation piece in the future.
A true six-pitch pitcher, Rodriguez throws all three variations of fastballs (four-seam, sinker and cutter). He also throws a changeup, curveball and slider. None of them stand out as plus pitches, but all of them are average or better. Rodriguez helps his stuff play up by messing with the timing of hitters.
His four-seam and sinker are both thrown in the 91-94 range for the most part, but he can reach back and touch up to 96 MPH when he needs it. His four-seam shape is pretty standard, but his -4.5 Vertical Approach Angle helps the ball play above bats, and helped him post a very solid 29% whiff rate against the pitch this season. The cutter is thrown in the 87-89 range, and is the pitch he tends to command the best out of all of his pitches. None of them are outliers in terms of a movement profile, but they do play well off of each other.
In terms of secondaries, Rodriguez throws his changeup the most often. It averaged around 15” of horizontal break, and generated a 33% whiff rate in 2024. It’s a really solid put-away pitch against left-handed hitters, which is going to be important as he moves forward, as Rodriguez did have his struggles with lefties this season. Left-handed hitters posted a .760 OPS against him in Nashville, while righties only had a .562 OPS.
His curveball is another pitch that saw some improvement this season. Previously seen as his sixth-best pitch, he started throwing the curve a bit harder, as it averaged 75.8 MPH this season and didn’t drop into the upper 60s at any point, which it had in the past. The results were a 35.1% whiff rate and the lowest opponent xwOBA of any of his pitches. He rounds the repertoire out with his slider, which he used less than he had in the past, but which was still a good put-away pitch as well, posting a 33% whiff rate.
Rodriguez’s command was very hot-and-cold this season. He will need to find some more consistency moving forward. When he’s at his best, he looks like a back-of-the-rotation starter. When the command is not on, he will have a hard time recording outs at the MLB level. His stuff is not bad, but it's not good enough to overcome poor command. He will head into 2025 as rotation depth, and it’s very likely we will see him make some starts for the Brewers again next season.
