Carlos Rodriguez Tallies Seven Punchouts Across Five Frames
6 months agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitching prospect Carlos Rodriguez tossed 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball on Wednesday and allowed just one hit, two walks, and struck out seven. This was a nice bounce-back performance for the right-hander, as he held a 3.86 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over his previous three starts. This is the 22-year-old's first extended look at Triple-A ball after logging just one start at this level last summer. Through 62 2/3 innings with Triple-A Nashville this season, the former sixth-round pick holds a 5.17 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. However, Wednesday's start was a big step in the right direction, and he is beginning to turn the corner on what has been a rough start to the season. MLB Pipeline ranks Rodriguez as the No. 6 prospect in the Milwaukee system and projects him to make his major-league debut sometime this summer. He is an interesting stash candidate in dynasty leagues if he begins to post solid outings and could be worth an add in NL-only formats when he's promoted to the big leagues.
