Julio Rodríguez Stats

The Seattle Mariners have made several roster moves Thursday, adding minor league outfielders Julio Rodriguez and Alberto Rodriguez and left-handed pitcher Ray Kerr to their 40-man roster. They now have filled 39 spots. Julio Rodriguez is by far the biggest name of the three, and the move is intended to protect him and both other players from the upcoming Rule 5 draft. Rodriguez could make an impact at the big-league level as soon as 2022, and general manager Jerry Dipoto has stated that there is "no scenario" in which Rodriguez (or several other top prospects) are moved this offseason. The 20-year-old slashed .347/.441/.560 with 13 homers and 21 steals in 74 games across two levels in 2021. Dynasty managers should already have him rostered.

Seattle Mariners prospect Julio Rodriguez doesn't seem to be fazed by the promotion from High-A to Double-A. The 20-year-old outfielder hit his first Double-A home run on Friday during the initial game of a doubleheader that saw him go 1-for-2 with two walks and three runs driven in. He then followed that up with a 3-for-3 performance with another free pass in the second game. Rodriguez now has a triple-slash line of .429/.556/.714 through his first four games at the new level. Prior to his promotion, he produced a 172 wRC+ with six home runs, five steals, and a .325 batting average in 28 games. Rodriguez is ranked by Rotoballer as the third-best prospect in dynasty baseball behind Wander Franco and Jarred Kelenic.

Seattle Mariners prospect Julio Rodriguez went 2-for-5 with a double and two strikeouts on Tuesday. The 20-year-old was recently promoted to Double-A after producing a 171 wRC+ in 28 games at the High-A level. He also produced six home runs, five steals, and a 10% walk rate. Rodriguez is neck-and-neck with Jarred Kelenic for the top prospect in the Mariners system. Rotoballer has him ranked as the third-best dynasty prospect in baseball behind Tampa Bay's Wander Franco and Kelenic both of whom could lose their rookie eligibilities by 2022. That would then push Rodriguez to the top of the pack due to his advanced bat and impressive raw power.
