The Seattle Mariners have tabbed their top prospect as the host of a new interview show.
Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez, ranked as the club’s top prospect and the No. 6 prospect in baseball overall by Baseball America, will be hosting the club’s new YouTube series called “Vibin’ with JROD.” The show is meant to feature Rodriguez’s personality in a “free-wheeling interview show,” according to a news release.
The debut episode will be Thursday at 3 p.m. PT.
“Julio is such a dynamic guy and ‘Vibin’ with JRod’ is a perfect vehicle to spotlight his charismatic personality and great relationships with teammates,” said Tim Walsh, Mariners director of digital marketing and social media, in a statement Wednesday.
