2021 Angels Player Review: Chris Rodriguez

Without tossing a single pitch in 2020, Chris Rodriguez entered the 2021 season as the No. 6 Prospect in the Angels farm system. His Minor League career to this point was plagued with injuries that placed the right-hander out of commission for three consecutive seasons, with the exception of three starts in 2019 (with High-A Inland Empire 66ers) before back surgery shut him down indefinitely. After a long road of rehabbing and finding his way back to the mound pain free, Rodriguez dazzled in Spring Training with 10 strikeouts in eight appearances (8 innings), while touching 98 MPH on the radar gun numerous times.
