KS Uncommitted Spotlight: SS Gilbert Rodriguez
December 14, 2022
Update: Committed to Neosho
This fall and winter PBR will be highlighting some of the top uncommitted players in the 2023 and 2024 classes. Today, we take an in-depth look at 2023 middle infielder Gilbert Rodriguez. The Life Prep product is a solid defender who has the feet to stay in the middle of the field and arm strength to play on the left side at the next level, but his carrying tool his his bat. The right-handed hitter shows a gap-to-gap approach and room in his 5-10, 175-pound fame to add more juice.
