Héctor Rodríguez Fantasy Stats

Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Hector Rodriguez has been on a power surge at Triple-A Louisville, belting five home runs in his last seven games. The Reds' fifth-ranked prospect now has 15 home runs on the season, along with 12 doubles and four triples, giving him a robust .526 slugging percentage for the year to go along with a .287 batting average and .360 on-base percentage. The left-handed hitter owns a 9.4 percent barrel rate with a max exit velocity this season of 113.0 mph (93rd percentile), so there is clearly plenty of pop in his bat, and it comes with a decent amount of speed, too, having recorded at least 12 steals each of the past four seasons in the minors. The 22-year-old could earn a major league debut after the All-Star break, and is a name to monitor as a potential power bat to stash in deep leagues with the ability to impact other categories as well.

Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Hector Rodriguez is still in Triple-A, but he has emerged as an intriguing fantasy baseball stash as he gets closer to making his MLB debut. This year, Rodriguez is slashing .291/.365/.525 with 14 homers, four steals, a 10.1% walk rate, a 17.9% strikeout rate, and 128 wRC+. He has shown improved power this year, while also increasing his walk rate. The underlying metrics point to Rodriguez making an impact at the next level, too. In the minors this season, he has posted a 106.5 mph EV90 (88th percentile) with an 8.7% barrel rate, a 23% pull-air rate, and a 44% hard-hit rate. He's chasing more than we'd like, but he has kept swings and misses to a minimum with his 22.5% whiff rate and 86.2% zone contact rate. With 117 Triple-A games under his belt over the last two years, Rodriguez appears more than ready to make the leap to the major leagues.

Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Hector Rodriguez has enjoyed a strong start to the Triple-A regular season and could be the next top prospect called up from the Reds system to make an impact in the majors. Earlier in June, the Reds turned to their top infield prospect, Edwin Arroyo, who joined several young and emerging players on the MLB roster, including Sal Stewart. Rodriguez is currently the team's No. 5-ranked prospect in the system on MLB.com, but has been among the best hitters at the Triple-A level this season. Across 62 games at Louisville, the outfielder has posted a strong .273/.352/.470 line with 10 doubles, 11 home runs, and four stolen bases. Over his last 28 games, Rodriguez has carried a higher .509 SLG with an .862 OPS. While there may not be a clear spot for him at the moment, his high-end production could force the team's hands shortly after the All-Star break. For now, he is a viable outfielder to stash in deeper 12+ team, five-outfielder leagues with multiple N/A spots.

Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Hector Rodriguez earned Southern League Player of the Week honors for his performance last week at Double-A Chattanooga. The Reds' 11th-ranked prospect went 17-for-30 (.567) with three doubles, a triple, three home runs, six RBI, 13 runs scored, and a 3:3 BB:K in seven games played. He's hit safely in 15 of his last 17 games, and owns a .316/.378/.514 slash line with 10 home runs and six steals through 65 games for the Lookouts. The 21-year-old puts the bat on the ball very well, leading to a career .296 AVG in the minors and lowering his strikeout rate all the way down to 12.7 percent this season. The left-hand hitting Dominican should get a shot at Triple-A before long, and should be in the big leagues at some point next season, along with all the tools that could make him fantasy relevant.

Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Hector Rodriguez went 2-for-5 with two long balls and six RBI on Tuesday evening. This was a nice breakout game for the 20-year-old has carried a mere .227 SLG and tallied only five RBI across his previous 12 games. The outfielder has spent the entire summer with High-A Dayton and held a strong .289/.321/.437 line with nine home runs, 42 RBI, and nine stolen bases. Rodriguez is considered the 12th-best prospect in the Reds pipeline on MLB.com and is worth paying attention to in dynasty leagues as he may push for a late-season promotion to Double-A.

Cincinnati Reds' outfield prospect Hector Rodriguez is looking to bounce back from a rough July with the Single-A Daytona Tortugas. The outfielder saw his slash line for the month dip to .184/.237/.322 with just two home runs and one stolen base. The 19-year-old also struck out 24 times while taking just six walks. The slump comes after a strong start to the season that saw Rodriguez earn May's Florida State League Player of the Month honors. The overall numbers for the season remain solid as Rodriguez flashes a .842 OPS with 15 homers and 11 steals. An inconsistent month for a teenager in full-season ball is not unusual, and Rodriguez remains an intriguing prospect in a loaded Cincinnati organization. It's a good time for fantasy managers to buy low on a player that still appears to have a bright future in dynasty leagues.
