2024 14U National Showcase
Austin Rodriguez is a 2028 RHP/1B/3B with a 6-0 185 lb. frame from Henderson, NV. Good looking frame. Short takeback with well repeated three-quarters release. Quick arm with some life through the glove, solid arm side run to the fastball. Changeup is the headline offering very good arm speed and arm side depth to it. Will challenge on the inner third and go up the ladder to set up the off speed down in the zone. Loose delivery through release. Can land the breaking ball for strikes, some pop out of hand but shows solid depth. This will eventually be a slider as he firms up the arsenal. In the infield, he displayed corner type actions, solid glove work with average lateral range. Enough arm to make throws from deep in the hole. Left-handed hitter, wide base and high back elbow. Engages the lower half well and swings it violently. Solid bat speed with good rhythm to the launch. Impacted it in the air to the pull side. Stood out in game on both sides. 7.75 60-yard. Great Student.
