After being acquired in the Joe Musgrove trade, Endy Rodriguez quickly established himself as one of the best hitting prospects in the Pirates system.
Not only that, but he was one of the best hitting in the Florida State League (then called Low-A Southeast), helping lead the Bradenton Marauders to the division title.
The most impressive part was his ability to balance handling a pitching staff and still be able to be as good as he was at the plate.
That’s one of the caveats of developing catchers. With so much to worry about, sometimes parts of your game can suffer.
