DrB's 2019 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #50 Yorlis Rodriguez

Yorlis Rodriguez, 3B.  DOB:  7/20/1999.  6'0", 187 lbs.  International Free Agent 2017(Cuba).

2018 R:  .323/.409/.445, 9 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR, 6 SB, 10.4 BB%, 13.7 K%, 1.25 GB/FB.

Yorlis Rodriguez(can we call him YoRod?) was a year older than most international free agents when he signed was assigned to Arizona for his pro debut, an aggressive assignment.  He definitely justified it with an outstanding offensive season even by Arizona League standards.  What's most exciting about his stat line is the outstanding K/BB showing that relatively rare combination of plate discipline and contact skill.  Not sure where we'll see him to open 2019 as 3B is a crowded position in the lower levels of the Giants system, but Augusta would be a reasonable bet.
