Meet the 6 Rising Minor Leaguers Poised to Shake Up MLB This Summer—You Won’t Believe Who Made the List!
In the offseason, Rodriguez was one of the youngest and most productive hitters in the Dominican Winter League, and he hasn’t cooled off much to start his Triple-A season, posting a 141 wRC+ through his first 23 games. He recently registered the highest exit velocity of any batted ball at that level this season: a 118.3-mph home run. In the majors, only Oneil Cruz has hit a ball harder than that in 2026.
Rodriguez is also a quality defender in center field, but with Byron Buxton thriving in Minnesota, Rodriguez’s best chance to break through in the near future is in left or right field, though there are also DH at-bats to be had (Twins’ designated hitters have combined for 70 wRC+ this season, 25th in MLB). Veterans Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner remain in the Minnesota outfield mix, but neither should block Rodriguez from getting big-league reps soon. Amid a rebuilding year for the Twins, Rodriguez is one of several top prospects (Walker Jenkins, Kaelen Culpepper) in Triple-A whom we could see in Minnesota this summer.
