09/16/2015 - Under Armour Fall Classic, powered by Baseball Factory's Team One Elijah is a talented catcher who has a strong/stocky build (6'1"/200). Behind the dish, he sits in well with athletic actions while presenting a low target. He tracks pitches into his mitt and sticks them, framing well. He moves well laterally to body-up pitches in the dirt, centering and keeping them in front. Transfer/exchange is clean as he puts his throws on the bag (pop times of 1.93). Runners will not want to test his arm. A switch hitter - currently he shows more power from the left-side. He has an athletic/balanced setup with a strong base. Quick hands whip the barrel to and through the zone with speed as he hits the ball where it's pitched, spraying it to all parts of the field (exit velocity = 86). Rodriguez is a solid prospect whose tools will take him a long way in the game.
