His imposing 6’2 stature was made more intimidating by his overpowering repertoire. Armed with a fastball that hits up to 97mph and a bundle of plus-pitches in his secondary, is Chris Rodriguez is quickly cementing his status as the best pitching prospect in the LA Angels system?
Better than Griffin Canning? The only answer I can give you is that his ceiling looks to be higher than the Angels #1 prospect Canning. Rodriguez’ start on Harry Potter night saw him go 4 IP and strike out 7 while walking zero hitters, his best start of the season.
