The professional debut of Carlos Rodon took place on Tuesday, July 22 in an Arizona Rookie League game.

Rodon’s outing didn’t look so great in the box score, but at least he is finally playing in a game situation for the Chicago White Sox organization.

Rodon, the 2014 No. 3 overall draft pick by the White Sox, pitched one inning of relief in the fifth inning against the Arizona Rookie League team of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

In the outing, Rodon allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks. The former pitcher for the North Carolina State Wolfpack struck out one batter.

In his final season at NC State, Rodon finished with an ERA of 2.01 and a record of 6-7 in 14 starts (98 innings pitched). He threw three complete games in that season.

Rodon also walked 31 batters and struck out 131 batters. Of the 39 runs he allowed, only 22 were earned in his final collegiate season.
