Training and competing every day for a 162-game season (and the playoffs) demands serious recovery fuel. Rodr\u00edguez turns to Muscle Milk to power through quick turnarounds and back-to-back games, saying, \u201cIt helps me be the best version of myself.\u201d He adds that he prefers its liquid form over bars for convenience. Plus, when you buy a 12-pack, they’re barely two bucks a piece. <\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez is a devoted anime fan, watching it almost daily to unwind. He draws inspiration from classics like Solo Leveling and One Piece\u2014both viewed in the U.S. on Crunchyroll, a streaming service dedicated to anime. The tenacity of One Piece\u2019s characters has been especially motivating him lately, as he attempts to bring Seattle its first-ever World Series. \u201cIt really motivates me to see how hard they chase their dreams and pushes me to chase my dreams, too.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI can never be anywhere without my AirPods,\u201d Rodr\u00edguez says. Whenever he\u2019s on the road, he relies on his AirPods to watch Anime. Pregame, he\u2019ll have them in listening to music that gets him hyped to play, specifically go-tos Bad Bunny and Drake. <\/p>\n

He prioritizes it before games to center himself before stepping to the plate, turning to his favorite meditation app, Calm, to create a quiet space and stay present in the moment. <\/p>\n

\"Breathing<\/a><\/p>\n

For a player chasing peak performance, sleep is just as critical as training. Rodr\u00edguez swears by the magnetic Intake Breathing Nasal Strips, which help him breathe easier, unwind, and slip into deeper sleep quickly. That quality rest allows him to recover faster and stay sharp through the grind of a long season.<\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s favorite part of living in Seattle is the easy access to nature, which he leans on to balance out the more chaotic aspects of professional baseball, but he\u2019s also a big believer in relaxing at home. After partnering with Adidas for his signature Adizero Impact+<\/a> cleats, he remains loyal to the brand when venturing outdoors\u2014or being cozy around the house. He says this is the most comfortable hoodie he\u2019s worn for either. <\/p>\n
