Expert Analysis
Kyle Devitte | Prep Lacrosse Scout
For my money, he had the best campaign among the event’s goalies, consistently making impressive saves for his Express squad. He’s remarkably lithe and quick to get down on the ball without just dropping his entire body to cover low shots. It’s wild that we’re constantly talking about how often goalies go to ground, but we’re also in a world where high-to-low overhand shooting has been the meta for 30 years. Regardless, Rodriguez kept his sprawling in between acrobatic and balletic, while other keepers were more on the spasmodic side of the spectrum. In one game, he made five straight saves, each more impressive than the last, and held the opposing team to one goal before the halftime switch. He did commit to Quinnipiac earlier in the fall, but he was still too good not to write up.

I thought AJ Rodriguez was one of the best goalies at The Show. I watched him in back-to-back games in the championship and then again in the All-Star Game. He had a sequence of back-to-back saves that will probably end up on his next highlight tape, which really made me key in on him. His movements are quick and explosive, almost cat-like. He made saves on shots placed all over the cage, and even on the ones he did not stop cleanly, he usually got a piece of them or was right on them. He has quick hands and feet and is not afraid to throw his body at shots. The one knock I noticed with Rodriguez was the number of rebounds he gave up.
