Julio Rodríguez's Ridiculous Rookie Campaign

what would you say at the end didn’t translate that last, he didn’t jp don’t leave us hanging luis Rodriguez did not leave anybody hanging as soon as he got called up for the Mariners, he showed why he’s a stud cinnamon rookie of the year, hit 24 28 home runs, 75 R.B.I.8 54 opiates and he can still bags as well, 25 stolen bases. I think that’s probably reason why so many people were impressed by him. Case it’s that combination of power and speed and pretty Austin Rei the rookie can get called right away, feels like the

offensive leader and the catalyst for the first rookie ever to have 25 home runs, 25 stolen bases. You know, this guy is a special face of the franchise already. 21 years old. And I think when you get your Don Alvarez and the other players talking about you in that light to say, hey listen, this guy never gets rattled, he’s a fun guy to watch. You know, there’s a ton of respect there. When you watch Julio Rodriguez, you’ve got to love his personality. You’ve got to love the leadership. Like you said Adnan at the age of

21 years old. This is what he has life Tower, power guy can, he’s a game changing bat right away. He can go to right center, left center, this power right here that gets the ball up and in drives it

to right field and another one here off Clevinger just an absolute bullet to left field. So you know, he’s got the power , you know, he’s got the bat, but I’ll tell you what this makes him a separate if he gets on base, he’s the right now to get into scoring and I think that’s such a

big thing nowadays in this game. You want guys that can steal bases at the top of that order. He’s just a dynamic player and listen, he wants the ball hit him out there in center field, you could tell he goes out there to get it almost like a young ken Griffey back in the day when you saw that, you know that Seattle comp of what he did. This guy is special plays the game hard plays the game all out , he could beat you with his bat , he could beat With his legs and he

can beat you with his glove so so impressive at 21 years old to have the face of the franchise. That’s why they gave him the big time money locked him up already. But I’ll tell you what the Seattle Mariners and that and that fan base are so fired up to be in the next round so they can watch this guy play a few more games, you know what he said when he said you can beat you with the bat and his legs, his glove, you look at this kid when he came up, name something, a

position player can do in baseball, it’s great and I can say well he can do it just like they can, you know, every individual thing that can happen. Can he hit a ball as far as anybody? Yeah, probably. So can he go get a ball in right center field? Get Yeah, probably. So can he steal a base like that guy? Yeah, probably. So and that’s the amazing part about this dude Now, I’m not saying he’s the best player in the game right now because he’s got a little ways to go to things to work on.

But anything that any great player can do in the game, he can do it and that’s pretty amazing when you look at that. So I’m excited for his future moving forward because he’s going to be in conversation. I think in the years to come as may be the best player in the game. It’s crazy to, to me case when a rookie gets called, like I said already like Jeter in 96 right Longoria with the rays posey with the Giants pretty rare, a guy gets called and the rookie already is the story of the, when he

came up instant impact, you know, into that club into the clubhouse. So you’re right, this guy is a difference maker. The only thing I can’t figure out is the contract. It’s like if there’s this many years and he gets this much money, these bonuses, there’s a lot of things. I had no idea what happened was reading involved. I didn’t get my guy got paid to figure out here. All right. In the meantime, john maroc working hard. Not sure if this one’s in spanish talking to George Kirby.
