There’s no denying that Seattle Mariners’ outfielder Julio Rodriguez has had a meteoric rise to fame.
He made his MLB debut on Apr. 8, 2022, and the same year was named an All-Star and won both the Silver Slugger Award and AL Rookie of the Year Award. Not bad for one year in the big leagues.
On Aug. 26, 2022, Rodriguez signed a 12-year, $210 million contract extension with the Mariners, though player and club options mean the deal could max out at $470 million. That’s a long deal for one of the youngest MLB players, so how old is Rodriguez now?
How Old Is Mariners’ Outfielder Julio Rodriguez?
As of the 2023 Major League Baseball season, Julio Rodriguez is 22 years old. He was born on Dec. 29, 2000, so will not turn 23 until next offseason. His contract extension with the Mariners will last him through the 2034 season, meaning he will not enter free agency until he is 34 years old.
