213 Miles from Shea: Get To Know A 2021 Non-Roster Invitee: David Rodriguez


David Rodriguez was a free agent signing last off-season to help fill out Mets catching depth. He was slated to go to Syracuse and then you know – the pandemic happened – and we missed out of a whole year of Rodriguez playing games in the Mets system. He made his minor league debut with the Rays all the way back in 2013 as a 17 year old and his stats have always been a bit interesting.

He has been a much better hitter in International Leagues. Across 7 years in the minors he has a .250/.322/.369 line (and that includes one year of minor league ball in the Venezuelan Summer League where he hit .329/.409/.540). As an international player in winter leagues he has hit .363/.430/.546. Including this past winter in the Venezuelan Winter League where he hit .383/.481/.579 in 160 PA’s followed by a .333/.429/.500 stint in the Caribbean Series.
