Minor League Games - 2024

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Johnathan Rodriguez smacked a 2 run homer in his 1st at bat, scoring Kyle Manzardo who hit a double.
 
Helluva game in Columbus.. Great 9th inning comeback for the Clips. It's 8-8 with an out.

Jose Tena has hit two homers a solo shot and a 3 run blast in the bottom of the ninth. After an ice cold start he is heating up quick.

#1

and #2

Nate Furman sure picked an excellent time to hit his first professional homerun, a GRAND SLAM in the bottom of third with two outs giving the Captains a 6-3 lead.

 
Don't look now folks, but Rodriguez is heating up already. 293/414/483/897 and climbing.

LOL! The hands are slow for sure and the 16.9 BB% along with the 27.7 SO% is almost too much to tolerate. The 126 wRC+ sucks too. I wonder where he falls on the EV list?

I think what he means is his hands when he swings through the zone. I am guessing he feels like he will struggle hitting the higher MLB velocities... Does anywhere have the info on him hitting the fastball and whatnot?

There are no such issues. His EV is amongst the best in the organization if it isn't the best. He can crush a fastball as well as an offspeed pitch. Considering his age and level he's looking real good and he's the type of hitter the Guardians could use which is why he was added to the 40 man. Question is how to fit him in and who goes? For me I'd replace Laureano with him and see what happens.

His strike out rate and swing and miss rate shows he won't make it.

No it doesn't unless you think a recently turned 24 yr old is done developing. Also, if all his other metrics translate then that strike out rate won't hurt at all. Welcome to the revamped outlook on hitting from the Cleveland Guardians.
