Impact The rookie swiped his major-league leading 12th bag of the season as part of his fourth multi-hit performance in the last seven games. Rodriguez is slashing a blistering .342/.375/.513 through 20 games in May, and the 21-year-old is more than living up to the hype he carried into 2022.

The multi-hit effort was his second in three games, going 6-for-11 with a two-run homer over that stretch.

MAY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rodriguez has hit the ball well since the start of May, as he's slashed .346/.393/.519 with two homers, seven RBI, five runs and a stolen base over 14 games.

MAY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Three hits in Monday's loss Rodriguez went 3-for-4 with a double in Monday's 9-0 loss to the Phillies.

Impact The 21-year-old rookie continues to look more and more comfortable in the majors, as the rest of the M's managed only one hit combined Monday against Ranger Suarez and the Philadelphia bullpen. Over the last 12 games, Rodriguez is slashing .357/.413/.500 with a homer, four steals, three RBI and four runs.

MAY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sunday, the 21-year-old hit third in the Mariners' lineup for the first time all season.

MAY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On base thrice Friday Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Rays on Friday.

Impact Rodriguez continues to figure out big-league pitching after a dismal start to the season, as he's now hitting .323 (10-for-31) over his last nine games. The talented rookie still sports a 26.5 percent strikeout rate during that span, but that's a significant improvement over the bloated 38.6 percent figure he generated in his first 17 contests.

Mariners' Julio Rodríguez makes first MLB homer count Despite a high strikeout rate in April, Rodríguez has stuck with his disciplined approach at the plate and it paid off Sunday.

MAY 2, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Blasts first career homer Rodriguez went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

Impact The 21-year-old got on the board with his long ball off Sandy Alcantara in the sixth inning. He's caught some tough breaks early in his big-league career, with a lot of borderline pitches being called against him (to go along with some blatant misses by the umpires). Regardless, he's now up to a .234 average after collecting multiple hits in four of his last nine games, and Rodriguez leads all of MLB with nine stolen bases.

MAY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hot hitting continues Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Marlins on Friday.

Impact Manager Scott Servais' decision to stick with Rodriguez through some fairly significant growing pains at the plate appears to be paying off. The precocious 21-year-old has now reached safely in six of his last seven games, boosting his season average 75 points to .211 in the process.

APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two more steals Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases in a 2-1 loss Thursday in Tampa Bay.

Impact Rodriguez singled in the second, was hit by a pitch and stole a base in the fourth and reached on a fielder's choice and swiped a base in the ninth. He leads all of baseball with eight steals and has yet to be caught trying. With hits in five of the last six contests, he's raised his average to .194 but is still in search of his first big-league homer. While he tries to figure it out at the plate, he's contributing on the basepaths and in the field.

Impact Rodriguez doubled in the fifth, singled, stole second and scored in the seventh, and walked and scored in the eighth. The 21-year-old rookie has posted consecutive multi-hit efforts for the first time this season and has recorded a hit in all but one of his last six games, a stretch that's seen his average jump from .107 to .192. A .513 OPS still ranks among the bottom 30 players in the league but Rodriguez's activity on the bases and significant upside as one of the top prospects in baseball keeps fantasy managers intrigued.

Logs two thefts Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a walk, run and two stolen bases in a 6-2 victory over Texas on Tuesday.

Impact The highly touted Rodriguez contributed to the win by singling in the seventh inning, stealing second to avoid what would have been a double play and scoring on an Abraham Toro home run. He later added a walk and second steal in the eighth to bring his season total to four-- one off the MLB lead. While the 21-year-old's bat has been cold, his wheels have been on full display as Rodriguez totaled 21 swipes in 74 minor league games last season.

Through four games, Rodriguez has gone 1-for-14 with one walk against seven strikeouts.
