As the MLB offseason progresses, players are spending some time away from the game. So was Seattle Mariners star Julio Rodriguez, who showed off his physique in a casual beach outing while playing baseball in his native Dominican Republic.
On Tuesday, MLB’s Instagram handle shared a photo of Rodriguez enjoying his time off, and J-Rod shared the post with his 492,000 followers on his IG handle.
MLB’s post was captioned, “A day at the beach with Julio and 🇩🇴.”

Julio Rodriguez looks to give back to the community through charity work and the 2024 season
Many athletes from poor families try to stay grounded. Julio Rodriguez is no exception. The purpose of his No Limits Foundation is to help underprivileged youth in the Dominican Republic, Seattle, and around the world. This is done through the provision of education, sport and guidance.
Rodriguez recently returned to his hometown of Loma de Cabrera, Dominican Republic, to celebrate Three Kings Day on January 6th, and donated toys and baseball equipment to children through his foundation.
MLB has posted several videos of Julio Rodriguez, including a couple of J-Rod interacting with basketball players and fans.
The caption of the post reads, “Julio Rodriguez returned to his hometown of Loma de Cabrera, Dominican Republic this week to celebrate Three Kings Day, donating toys and baseball equipment to over 1,000 boys and girls through the No Limits Foundation. ❤️” was written.
“In addition, he held baseball and softball clinics, basketball clinics, and oversaw the dedication of Loma de Cabrera’s new cultural center, where Vic Blend provided free haircuts. “
Meanwhile, aside from his philanthropy, Julio Rodriguez has had a difficult 2024 season with the Seattle Mariners compared to previous seasons. He batted .273/.325/.409 with 20 home runs, 68 RBIs, and 24 stolen bases in 143 games.
Rodriguez is expected to return to full training soon and return as spring training approaches.
