Rodriguez’s growth is rooted in the travails he experienced catching Anthony Solis last year.
Waukegan’s Saul Rodriguez catches a pitch during a North Suburban Conference game against Mundelein in Waukegan on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. The senior catcher wasn’t always comfortable there. But since his sophomore season on the junior varsity team, Rodriguez has overcome physical and mental obstacles to emerge as a stabilizing force for the Bulldogs.
“He went from catching sophomores to catching Anthony,” Maione said. “It was ugly at first, and I didn’t know if it was going to work. But he really progressed.” Rodriguez stuck with it, however. One of his best moments with Solis came during the Battle at Bowen matchup against Zion-Benton. Rodriguez kept an errant pitch close enough to the plate and made an on-target toss to Solis to cut down a runner trying to score.
Rodriguez has received reinforcement from Waukegan assistant Mike Rostine, a former college catcher who helped Rodriguez with his stance and blocking in particular.who is competing in relays and the long jump for Waukegan’s girls track team. She had been the catcher for Waukegan’s softball team.
