85 out of 100 — our all-round score from the season line, his tools against the level, and how young he is for it.
His best Sapphire asks $230 against the $420–500 that card has sold in.
These sell around $425.00 and this is $229.99 delivered.
Our take
Strong prospect, and the market has not caught up.
Rainiel Rodriguez scores 85 out of 100 (#31 of the 7,922 we score), and the case rests on one thing: young for the level — +5.0y vs his level at Double-A — younger than 100% of the players there.
His core Bowman card has been selling at $120–138 off 8 confirmed sales.
A prospect we rate, at less than his cards have been selling for — which is the whole shape of an entry worth taking.
The thing most likely to be wrong here: thin comp evidence — 3 confirmed sales in 90 days. Treat any value here as a single data point, not a price.
The signal
Young for the level
+5.0y vs his level at Double-A — younger than 100% of the players there.
Power: plus
.251 ISO — isolated power — slugging minus batting average, so hits that go for extra bases Better than 91% at his level.
The case is strengthening
Baseball momentum 69/100 — ahead of the thesis. Read from his baseball alone — never from what his cards did.
Moved up and held it
Low-A to Double-A.
Premium position
C — the bat does not have to carry the whole profile.
Contact: above average
19.7% K — strikeout rate, inverted — lower means more bat-to-ball Better than 77% at his level.

The card that matters
A card-quality answer, not a price one. It does not change when a seller changes their mind.

Raw base 1st Bowman Chrome Auto
The canonical prospect vehicle — every player who has one is compared on it. Identified from 8 independent sellers describing it — likely, not established.
A card is never the one to own because it is numbered. Scarcity is a modifier on a vehicle, not a vehicle — a /25 of a card nobody collects is a rarer version of nothing.

The parallel ladder8 versions of his cards in raw autos, each priced off its own confirmed sales
Every version of his cards we can see, base to 1/1. Each rung is priced off its own confirmed sales — a rung nothing has verifiably sold at shows no value rather than borrowing a neighbour's.
Showing Raw autos.
NO CLEAR SWEET SPOT
No rung of his has a confirmed sale behind it, so there is no price to compare any step against.

What he is good atSkills 54 on the 20–80 scale, against 496 hitters at Double-A
What he is good at
skills overall 54 / 80
On the 20–80 scale every scouting report uses: 50 is average, and every 10 points is one standard deviation. Measured against 496 hitters at Double-A — measured against real players at the same level right now — not a scout's projection of what he becomes.

+5.0y vs his level
years younger than the median player at his level — positive is young for the level
The overall figure averages the 4 skill rows only. The box-score row and the age row are shown but deliberately left out of it — one is the result those skills produced, and the other is not a skill at all.
The argument
skills at the 62th percentile of the cohort, production at the 93th — his results run further ahead of his tools than 92% of the players he is measured against.
The stat line is doing the selling and the skills underneath it are not carrying it. Pay for the line and you are paying for the part that does not repeat.
How this is read: his skills average 62 and his production sits at 93, a gap of -31. That gap on its own means little — an average of several percentiles always sits nearer the middle than a single one — so it is ranked against the same figure computed the same way for the 496 players at his level we hold a full profile for, where it lands at the 8th percentile.
Will he get there?
Strong chance 8.3 / 10
- already at Double-A
- young for Double-A
- hitting well — 0.972 OPS in 330 PA (not ranked against his level)
This is an ordering score, not a percentage. We hold no outcome data and have run no backtest, so “a 93% chance of reaching the majors” would be a number we made up and you then spent money on. Built on 100% of what it wants to know.

Is this player getting better?
Hitting better than last season even though the pitching got harder — .871 to .972 after moving up to Double-A. That is the shape of a breakout.

What his cards have sold for3 logged sales
Real completed sales only — nothing here is an estimate. These come from the scan: it asks eBay about listings it has already seen, and one that ends at a fixed price is recorded as a sale. That builds up over days. You can add one by hand below if you happen to know it, but you are not meant to be the price database.
Point at a dot to see that sale.
