Miami Marlins Season in Review: Eliezer Rodriguez

Eliezer Rodriguez is a 6’1′, 185 lb. left-handed pitcher from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Born on February 17th, 1999, Rodriguez signed with the Miami Marlins through free agency on November 4th, 2016.

Santo Domingo has long been a hotbed of future MLB players. 169 major leaguers have originated in the city, including Adrian Beltre, Albert Pujols, David Ortiz, and Manny Ramirez, as well as current Miami Marlins Jarlin Garcia and Jose Urena.

After signing, Rodriguez joined the GCL Marlins for some offseason training in December 2016, and stayed there until assigned to the DSL Marlins, in the rookie-level Dominican Summer League just prior to the 2017 campaign.
