With the 177th selection of the 2021 #MLBDraft, the Brewers select RHP Carlos Rodriguez from @FSWBucs https://www.fanmb.com/brent-suter-jersey. pic.twitter.com/UQIYqXcajU— Milwaukee Brewers July 12, 2021Rodriguez pitched in just one JUCO season but was impressive enough to as a 19 year old to convince the Brewers he was worth taking a shot on https://www.fanmb.com/eric-lauer-jersey. During his lone campaign with the Buccaneers, he posted a 2.11 ERA across 47.0 innings pitched. Rodriguez struck out 62 batters versus just 12 walks.The right-hander was not ranked among Baseball America’s top 500 draft prospects, but according to Prep Baseball Report, Rodriguez throws a fastball that tops out at 93 MPH along with a curveball, changeup, and slider. Some notes from that website suggest that Rodriguez has a “[l]ean, athletic, up tempo delivery, intent. Some effort, inconsistent release. Young arm, a lot to like as there is more in there to come https://www.laagear.com/david-fletcher-jersey.”The slot value for pick #177 is $279,500.
