Julio Rodriguez hits first HR of season in Mariners' 4-0 win

Julio Rodriguez (CF - SEA)

Julio Rodriguez hit his first HR of 2024 on Tuesday, a 435-foot two-run blast in the third inning. He would finish 1-for-3 with a run scored and two RBIs.

Fantasy Impact
Julio has turned things around after a slow start. Over his last 5 games, he has a BA of .500, an OBP of .500, a SLG of .583 and three SBs. His HR Tuesday traveled well into the second deck in Texas with an EV of 110+. Julio managers should hold him in high regard as the SLG is coming around and his BA is up to .278. If Julio is hitting for power and consistently on base his fantasy ceiling remains elite; he is in the 98th percentile in sprint speed thus far.
