Christopher Rodriguez is a 6’2″, 190 lb. right-handed corner-infielder from La Romana, Dominican Republic. 24 players have made it to the majors out of the town, including Edwin Encarnacion, Jumbo Diaz, and former Miami Marlins pitcher Antonio Alfonseca.
Rodriguez was born on December 22nd, 1999, and signed a free agent contract with the Miami Marlins on July 2nd, 2016 while still 16-years-old. The following season, he reported to the rookie-level DSL Marlins, in the Dominican Summer League for his first professional action.
Most players who begin their professional careers in the DSL are between six-and-eight seasons away from major league action, if that’s in the cards.
