14. Jesus Rodriguez C/3B. DOB: 4/23/2002. B-R, T-R. 5' 10", 208 lbs. 40-man Roster, 2 Options.
2025(AAA- Yankees): .317/.409/.430, 14 2B, 3 3B, 5 HR, 16 SB, 12.7 BB%, 15.2 K%, 362 PA.
2025(AAA- Giants): .322/.399/.401, 6 2B, 2 HR, 4 SB, 10.4 BB%, 9.8 K%, 173 PA.
Elite contact hitter with plate discipline, a relatively rare combination. Main negatives are a lack of power and questionable catching skills. It appears the Giants think he can be a catcher. It appeared he might have a shot at back up catcher in 2026 until they acquired Daniel Susac and Eric Haase. It now appears the plan is to give Rodriguez more reps behind the plate in AAA to polish up his defensive skills. If he can improve there his hitting skills should give him a solid MLB career.
