The Giants protected Randy Rodriguez from the Rule 5 Draft after the 2021 season even though he had never pitched above low A ball. FZ said the Giants thought Randy could be developed as a SP. He started 13 of 16 games with A+ Eugene with mixed results. He moved back to the pen after promotions to AA and then AAA which went rather badly.
Rodriguez is small for a pitcher but has a wiry, athletic looking frame that still has some room to fill out, but almost certainly carries more weight now than listed. The arm is disproportionately long for his height, loose and quick. His pitching motion looks similar to Camilo Doval's. The FB is electric going 96-98 in several video clips with a slider and changeup to back it up. One slider clearly had pure horizontal movement similar to Sergio Romo's. Wow! If he could pair up Romo's slider with a high-90's FB, that would be something!
