The Book on Yorman Rodriguez
Prospect Info
Yorman Rodriguez
Born 1/1/1992
OF, CIN
A highly-prized prospect for his combination of power and speed, Rodriguez was a free-agent prize when he was stolen by the Reds as a Latin American free agent in 2008. A very young and very raw talent, he probably has the highest ceiling of any hitter in the Reds' system... but he's a long way from polished or proven. Before he can move up through the minors, he'll need to learn to hit breaking balls, and to stop swinging at everything he can reach. His speed and arm make him look like a natural centerfielder, though, so he won't be expected to develop his already-solid power potential much further.
