Rodriguez came into the league as a highly projectable arm with mid-rotation upside. Unfortunately, his tenure with the Nationals has been dogged by inconsistency and suspension. At 6’6” and 232 pounds, Rodriguez has an excellent starter’s frame and lightning-fast arm speed. He can fire mid-90s fastballs to both sides of the plate with outstanding plane and can reach back for near triple-digits heat. At peak, the pitch is near plus-plus. Rodriguez backs that up with a hammer curveball that more consistently flashes plus. The changeup is the clear third pitch here...
