Carlos Rodon

Scouting Profile

Carlos Rodon profiles as a high-octane, high-variance power arm. His 10.8 K/9 sits in the top 10% of tracked MLB starters (90th percentile), backed by a 112 Stuff+ that reads as above-average stuff. Command grades at the 7th percentile (3.8 BB/9), shaky command, over a 5.5-inning average workload. Within the NYY rotation he grades as the 2nd arm by strikeout rate.

2026 Strikeout Prop Outlook

For strikeout props the baseline lands near 6.6 Ks, but the daily number moves with the matchup: a lineup that whiffs more than average against left-handers pushes it up, a contact-heavy one pulls it down — the L3 opponent split is the single largest swing. Cold air and a pitcher-friendly park add roughly 0.4–0.9 K; a hitter’s park trims the ERA side. The shorter 5.5-inning workload caps counting-stat upside even on high-whiff days.
