Julio Rodriguez parents, Yasmin Reyes and Julio Rodrguez raised the athlete in Loma de Cabrera, Dominican Republic.

The baseball outsider was born on December 29, 2000, and is currently playing for the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball (MLB). 

“J-Rod” signed with the Mariners as a free agent in 2017; however, debuted in the MLB in 2022. 

In his first season, he went on to win the Silver Slugger Award and American League Rookie of the Year Award.

Moreover, Rodriguez also won the Player Players Choice Award for AL Outstanding Rookie the same year. 

Making a name for himself in the world of baseball, Julio hit a home run on April 7, 2023.

The Dominican player hit a tiebreaking two-run home run in the sixth inning against the Cleveland Guardians.

Additionally, the baseball outfielder became the fastest player in the team’s history after managing to hit 30 home runs in only 140 games. 

Julio Rodriguez Parents

Yasmin Reyes and Julio Rodriguez Sr are the parents of the baseball outfielder.

The parents of the 23 year old were raised in Loma de Cabrera, Demonic Republic.

Additionally, the town only consists of roughly 20,000 people. 

Reportedly, he is their only child, but due to little information on his private life, the information is not confirmed. 

Similarly, not much is known about Julio Rodriguez’s parents’ profession.

However, they do seem to be very loving and supportive of him. Julio Rodriguez was left speechless when his parents surprised him in the Futures Game

Upon hearing a familiar voice, the baseball player was in disbelief. He got up and hugged his father, almost knocking him down. 

Rodriguez Sr is reportedly scared of flying, and on the other hand, his mother loves to travel and fly; hence, he was amazed. 

The Rodriguez family belongs to the Christian religion and adheres to the rules and regulations of the faith. 

Julio Rodriguez Slump

Although the Dominic Republican native took the league by storm for the Seattle Mariners in 2022, J-Rod seems to be in quite a slump in his second season, hitting only .229 in 36 games. 

Although he signed a massive 7-year deal, reportedly, the Seattle teams are looking to offload him. 

But as they say, “form is temporary, class is permanent,” and Rodriguez will surely come back stronger.

Many clubs will be analyzing the situation, and Julio Rodriguez has options. 

St Lous Cardinals traded their Harrison Bader to the New York Yankees last season. They have also seen their club go on a downward trajectory; maybe, J-Rod can fix things.

Likewise, Toronto Blue Jays are also an option as the Canadian team can be a place where the young player can flourish. 

Additionally, the Boston Red Sox were gutted after their 2022 last-place finish and will look to freshen up their roster.
