Seattle Mariners prospect Julio Rodriguez is representing the Dominican Republic in the Baseball Americas Qualifier which determines who will be a part of the summer Olympic Games. Julio Rodriguez has some well-known teammates like Jose Bautista, Emilio Bonifacio, and Melky Cabrera, but the young 20-year-old is stealing the show.
It probably shouldn’t be too surprising that Julio is playing well but I’m not sure if people expected him to play this well.
