Luis Orlando Rodriguez is originally from San Carlos, Cojedes St., Venezuela. He was born on June 27, 1980 and currently plays for the Chicago Whitesox as a shortstop. Rodiguez started in the major leagues with the Minnesota Twins in 2005, when Jason Bartlett, the rookie who took the starting position for the team at the time, started having problems at the shortstop position.

He’s accredited to having an excellent and regular consistent hitting average, contributing greatly to his Rochester team.
