OK, I get that he is 26 years old and a right handed reliever that has never been to the majors. But does he have the talent to pitch in the majors?

His stats at Norfolk are:

6-1, 2.19 ERA, 39 G, 61.2 IP, 52 H, 1.20 WHIP, 62 SO.

So less hits than innings pitched. A strikeout an inning. His control must be pretty good.

But this guy never gets talked about. Never. Why?

I would like to know a lot more about him like:

1) What pitches does he throw?

2) How good are each of his pitches?

3) Is he a power or finesse pitcher?

4) Will the O's put him on the 40 man roster this off season?

5) Is he better ro worst then some of the minor league pitchers that are currently on the 40 man roster?

Those are a few things to talk about.

The answers to 2-5 are pretty apparent by the way the Orioles and us never talk about him.

Maybe.

Or maybe the reason that the O's don't talk about Rodriguez is that they have a strong pen and most of their focus has been on either adding starters or left-handed pitchers.

I really don't know but I would like to know more about Richard Rodriguez.

He's the Lew Ford of the 2016 season.

Man, I hate Richard Rodriguez.

I hate hijacking but....

He's going to have to be added to the 40 man to be protected from the rule 5 draft. Our bullpen has been so good that you don't hear too much about the righties in AAA. Beato, Drake and R.Rodriguez could all be in MLB bullpens this year.

He is due to be a minor league free agent after this year, I believe. The Orioles can add him to the 40 man roster to prevent that.

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.

      A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.

      I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.

      2 "gutsy" starts in a row.  That's exactly what you want out of veterans to demonstrate to the young guys.
