Rodríguez Caps Great Week: 19-year-old Diego Rodríguez made a few Blue Ridge headlines during this past week as the rookie first baseman proved he could compete at the plate with his high-school idols. He captured the attention of fans, journalists and Appalachian League officials last week and today took home Player of the Week honors for his effort.
He cracked 9 hits in 24 at-bats to put up a .375 average. Rodríguez collected 6 home runs, 13 RBIs and scored 7 runs.
