LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 National Showcase
Marcus Rodriguez is a 2006 3B/1B/OF from Barron Collier HS in Naples, FL, with a 6'2", 195 lb. frame. He ran the 60 in 7.49 and looks like he's worked hard to improve his lower body quickness. Rodriguez is a very smooth fielder and moves laterally well. He has very good arm strength although his throws tend to sail on occasion. Rodriguez hits out of a spread stance with no stride and a strong, leveraged swing. He has very nice bat speed and the ball will jump off his bat on contact. He shows flashes of power now but is just scratching the surface of what he's capable of when he learns to make more consistent contact. Rodriguez is an excellent student who has signed to go to Samford. Sleeper!
