  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Medium, athletic frame. No remaining projection.

Hit: Fringe-average hit tool. Free swinger will swing and miss in the zone. Still able to work the count and take a walk.

Power: Above-average power. Impacts the ball to the gaps, has some fence-clearing power.

Run: Fringe-average runner.

Field: Came up the pro ranks as a shortstop but now primarily plays third base and first base. Able to play left field in a pinch. Adequate defender.
  Arm: Solid-average arm at third base.

Career Notes: Nephew of Alex Rodriguez. Played for Harwich in the Cape League in 2016. Three-year starter at NC State. Spent five seasons in the Marlins farm system. Homered in his first major league at-bat with Miami on May 7, 2022. Claimed off waivers by Atlanta in June 2022.

Summation: Upper minors depth capable of filling in at corner infield at the major league level for short periods.
