Alex Rodriguez10/24/15 - Small, super athletic middle infielder, 5-foot-7, 145-pounds. Plus potential defender at his age, feet work athletically with soft hands, advanced actions and body control.

Offensively hits from a balanced stance, smooth loading action, short stride, lower half works, athletic setup with good balance throughout.
