His totals in runs batted in (RBI's) and bases stolen during 1951 and 1952 are unknown because during that era, those statistical areas were not counted by some baseball teams, including the Middlesboro one.

Simultaneous to his career in Mexico, Rodríguez established himself as a player in the Puerto Rican winter baseball league.

Playing seventeen years there from 1951 to 1968, Rodríguez participated with Ponce Lions, Mayaguez Indians and San Juan Metros, collecting 712 hits, with 99 doubles, 27 triples and 26 home-runs in the league,[5] whose schedule usually consist of a relatively short number of games, about 40 games a season.

With that team, Rodríguez shared playing time with, among others, American pitcher Frank Barnes and with Pancho Herrera.

A versatile player who saw action as a first baseman, third baseman, outfielder and pitcher, Rodríguez played in 2,341 combined games across the leagues where he was signed at, connecting 2,079 hits for an average of almost one hit a game in 6,592 at bats, with 379 double-base hits, 29 triple-base ones and 173 home-run ones (of those home-runs, 129 were connected in games played at the Mexican or Puerto Rican leagues) along with 1,026 runs batted in, 84 stolen bases against 13 times being caught stealing, and 723 bases-on-balls or "walks".
