Giants pitcher Dereck Rodriguez's arm is fresh, velocity strong in spring

There's good news -- and even better news.

For starters, the weather appears to be warming up in Arizona after an extremely weird case of frigid temperatures. In better news, Derek Rodriguez's arm feels great.

And even more than the arm confidence, there appears to be a slight uptick in his velocity.

During his outing on Sunday against the Rockies, Rodriguez was back at Salt River Fields, the place where he first made a name for himself in the Giants organization at this time last season.

"I feel like that's where I really got put on the map last year," Rodriguez told MLB.
