Derek Rodriguez

RHP Derek Rodriguez, who transferred to UNLV from Arizona for his senior year, has the best fastball on the Runnin' Rebels staff, an easy 90-94 mph offering. He got knocked around as a starter, going just 4-5, 5.44 with a .331 opponent average, because he only had a slider to complement his fastball. His stuff is better suited to short relief, and he has the durable arm to adapt to that role.
