Physical: Lean, athletic 6-foot, 180-pound frame with feel for his body in all phases. 7.16 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: LHH - Balanced, slightly open stance with rhythm in the hands pre-swing. Utilized a repeatable lift and replace stride allowing the hands to play on time at the front of the plate through a flat barrel path. Showed lift after impact with good rotational power generating a 46% fly ball rate and pull-side pop through the RCF gap. Hit into a stiff front side while recording a 90 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball, a 26.6 mph hand speed will work admirably against higher velocity, as he should have no issues getting quality swings off. An overall balanced hitter, Rhodes projects to be a high bat to ball skill prospect.
Defensively: The primary outfielder displayed above-average instincts in space and got around the ball hit in either gap, worked hard to play downhill through the fielding window with a soft glove hand off of the right side of his body, the feet were on time and the arm played with life through the target (82 mph).
Pitching: LHP - Hid the ball well from the middle-right side of the rubber, side rocker step into a medium-high leg lift with average pace in the delivery, slight crossfire and body turns late allowing for good hip-shoulder separation. The FB worked from 79-81 mph with run to the arm side (10.9 inches of HM) which showed a tough look to LHH. Mixed in a high spin 72 mph breaker (2352 RPM’s) that looked sharp when he got on top of it (7 inches of HM). A 78-80 mph CH appeared to have good feel as it commanded the zone at a 50% clip, good enough to be featured often in the repertoire.
