Julio Rodriguez Hitting Leadoff In First Playoff Game
Julio Rodriguez is starting in center field and is hitting leadoff in his first career postseason game on Friday in Game 1 of the American League Wild-Card Series against the Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Alek Manoah. Rodriguez is a big reason why Seattle is back in the postseason in 2022, as the 21-year-old All-Star hit .284/.345/.509 with an .853 OPS, 28 home runs, 75 RBI, 84 runs scored and 25 stolen bases in his 511 at-bats. He enters his first postseason action on a modest four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 6-for-12 (.500) with a homer, two RBI and four runs scored.
