The Orioles brought Rodriguez to his first major league camp last year at age 20, so he could take in the atmosphere and learn from it. Even though he was one of the first players to be shipped down to minor league camp then, he can now take that knowledge into this year with a much better sense of belonging. Rodriguez threw nearly 160 innings this past year between the regular season and the Arizona Fall League. When Bundy and Gausman are in the same camp, it can be easy to forget about Rodriguez, who is the organization's third-best pitching prospect behind that duo, but he's just as big a part of the Orioles' future, as has been proven this offseason in the fact that he was on many teams' wish lists in possible trades. But the Orioles kept him. Showalter went out of the way to say he has noticed that Rodriguez has a more business-like approach now.
