07/26/2013 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City On the mound Rodrigo showed a controlled balance point, good separation, a plus curveball, fastball has good movement and he throws strikes. He needs to develop a smoother tempo, stride at the target (so he is not throwing across body) and lengthen the arm action on the backside. As an infielder Rodrigo showed good arm strength/accuracy, active/fluid footwork and athleticism but his arm action is very hard on the elbow and playing through the ball is something he can improve upon. At the plate he has a solid load, decent balance, lower half works and he has good power. Rodrigo needs to track the ball all the way in, let the ball travel into the proper hitting zone and develop a mental approach to each at bat.
