should've walked Rainiel.....turns on chin high fastball

we got a keeper

how is he at handling a pitching staff and being a catcher? sure looks like he hasn't met a baseball he can't abuse with a bat, with all the system catchers we have at what point do you start thinking about finding another position for him or do you?

coming into the season, the knock by the DSL pundits was that his receiving and blocking skills were bad...but he's only allowed 1 PB all season in the FCL and Palm Beach. I can't really talk on the receiving skills...not sure how to measure that...he has a very strong arm and is tough to run on.

Stateside pundits might have better to say than the DSL pundits come Nov and December

Palm Beach 2, Jupiter 1 ; Bot 6th

Jacob Odle ~ 3 2/3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K, 1 HBP
Christian Worley ~ 1 1/3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 2 K.
Yadiel Batista ~ 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 0 K ... Full Season Debut....from the FCL, 21 yo LHP, tall at 6'3", from Cuba

Rainiel Rodriguez ~ 1-1, HR, BB
Deniel Ortiz ~ 1-2, Single
Jose Suarez ~ 0-0, 2 BB
Sammy Hernandez ~ 0-2, Run, SB
Jose Cordoba ~ 1-2, Single, RBI

Batista's debut has been awful.....only 9 walks coming into this debut this season....you wouldn't know it...he's sent pitch after pitch to the back stop. Escapes bases loaded jam

Well, it's often proclaimed OHELL for the opposing pitcher.
Thanks for the link. He kinda looks like a cross between Pujols and Pendleton.
