Chris Sale in Crisis: Rookie Andrew Abbott's Emergence Sparks Pitching Revolution
Well, through four starts in 2025, Rodriguez is top-15 in SIERA, K-BB%, strikeout rate, and xFIP. It’s a small sample size, but it made me think it might be worth digging into to see if anything is different.
For starters, I noticed that, like Andrew Abbott, Rodriguez has raised his arm angle a bit, which has led to more vertical movement across his arsenal but less horizontal movement. The vertical attack angle on the arsenal overall is up, and some of the pitch models like it, with Pitcher List giving Rodriguez the highest PLV grade he’s had since 2021.
