2025 Atlanta Braves Prospect Reviews: Carlos D. Rodriguez
"Carlos was signed by the Braves as a minor league free agent following the end of the 2024 season and his release from the Milwaukee Brewers organization. Carlos was immediately inserted in many of the Braves Top 30 charts because of his skill set and promise as a Brewers prospect - with some tools that deserved that praise. He is an extremely high contact player with a very promising walk rate which paints the picture of a player that should have high on-base potential."
"The Braves liked what they saw, and promoted him to Triple-A Gwinnett where he regressed a bit, especially towards the end of the season. On the whole, Carlos played 128 games with Gwinnett where he slashed .247/.317/.323 with 17 stolen bases. He made contact on 93% of the pitches he swung at inside the zone, and had a swinging strike percentage of just 6.8%."

He entered Braves Top 30 lists due to his high-contact approach, strong walk rate, above-average speed and projected outfield defense, suggesting high on-base potential. He began the season in Columbus hitting .341/.404/.366 (133 wRC+), then was promoted to Triple-A Gwinnett where he regressed, finishing 128 games .247/.317/.323 with 17 stolen bases. He made contact on 93% of in-zone swings and had a 6.8% swinging-strike rate, but posted an unlucky .272 BABIP. The first half produced a .300/.365/.348 line over 73 games; the second half saw a clear decline.
