Raudi Rodriguez Finishes AFL Piping Hot
Angels outfielder Raudi Rodriguez has done more to raise his prospect stock than nearly anyone in the Arizona Fall League. On the final day of the regular season, he made one final argument to cement his case as the circuit’s breakout star. Facing Surprise, Rodriguez went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run and his fifth stolen base of the fall. Both of Rodriguez’s hits left the bat hotter than 100 mph, including a 107.8 mph bolt for his triple. He reached a top speed of 28.7 feet per second. For the AFL, Rodriguez went 26-for-60 with a homer and 10 RBIs.
