The scouts noted Rodriguez's throwing technique, the fact that he was right-handed since birth and started throwing with his left after a broken arm at the age of seven was especially noted. The main serve of the player is fastball with a speed of 90-94 miles per hour. Thanks to good control of the ball, he also effectively uses the changer-up and slider [1] .
