Julio Rodriguez Heating Up At The Plate
3 years agoSeattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez has hit safely in six of seven games, raising his batting average 71 points during that stretch. The phenom is also a perfect 6-for-6 on the basepaths to start his young career. However, the 21-year-old has posted a .196/.274/.524 line while striking out an American League-leading 25 times across 15 games. The number-two overall prospect, according to Baseball America, has also chipped in with three doubles, seven runs, and five RBI through 56 at-bats. The improvement at the dish should give fantasy managers some relief as the five-tool rookie is adjusting to life at the Major league level. Now represents the best time to buy low in redraft leagues for J-Rod before he breaks out.
