It’s hard to start your MLB career better than Julio Rodriguez has in his first two seasons with the Seattle Mariners. He barely missed a 30-30 season in 2022 while winning AL Rookie of the Year honors. He then joined the 30-30 club while finishing fourth in the 2023 AL MVP Award voting. What’s on tap for him this year? We’ll keep tabs on his power progress with our 2024 Julio Rodriguez Home Run Tracker.
This will work like our 2023 trackers. Every time Julio goes deep, we’ll update this article with the opponent, date, distance, and exit velocity, as well as a video of the dinger itself.
Rodriguez took a step forward in pretty much everything during the 2023 season. He played in 55 games and slugged 32 homers with 37 steals, 37 doubles, 103 RBI, and 102 runs scored. This resulted in his second All-Star Game selection and Silver Slugger Award.
Revisit last year’s power production with our 2023 tracker. And, if you’re feeling extra frisky, remind yourself of how legendary of a Home Run Derby participant he already is.
