Rodríguez opened the scoring with a first-inning homer but Luzardo’s breaking ball closed the door on Seattle’s bats for the rest of the night. Rodríguez’s drive was notable for its proximity to the ground—0.71 feet off the dirt—the second-lowest hit in MLB’s pitch-tracking era, a reminder of Rodriguez’s ability to surprise with contact quality and power.

Rodríguez belongs to the elite club of players with 100 HR and 100 SB through four seasons, elevating Seattle’s lineup and shaping fantasy expectations with a blend of power and speed.

In the context of the milestone-club Witt joined, Rodríguez stands as part of the same acclaimed cohort for historic 100-HR/100-SB early-career production, illustrating the era’s elite two-way potential and the premium on speed and power that fantasy players chase.

Rodríguez has shown elite power and a knack for driving runs, with a notable prop of over 1.5 total bases, reflecting his ability to hit for extra-base power and multi-hit nights when he’s locked in against right-handed pitching.

Rodríguez opened Seattle’s scoring with an RBI double in the first, proving his speed-to-power impact and setting the tone for the Mariners’ early advantage. His ability to drive in runs helps Seattle’s offense stay competitive in the crowded wild-card chase as Lindor’s power moment unfolds.
