# 33 Josh Rodriguez. Hailing from Livermore and currently shutting things down for Los Medanos College, Josh has been absolutely lights-out on the Mustangs mound. He’s currently tied for 1st in all of California Jucos for saves, going 8-for-8 in save opportunities! With a nasty 2.52 ERA and 31 strikeouts in just 25 innings, it’s easy to see why they call him the “PCFT” (Pittsburg City Flame Thrower).
