Rodon's wife, Ashley, has been by his side every step of the way and has been one of his biggest supporters. Ashley Rodon also has a keen eye for baseball and she showed it with her answer when the Yankees ace was asked about a hitter he feels "nervous" about.

In a conversation with Swilly Sports at the annual Willow Gala hosted by Carlos Rodon Foundation, Ashley pointed out a potential chink in the Yankees ace's armor.

"Yeah, I feel like I can't respond to this," Ashley said with a smile. "I did say to his dad, Yordan Alvarez, who just hit a homer off you, I remember saying to his dad, when you let up a lefty, cause you think, 'Oh, it's a lefty, I'll let my guard down.' It's like, don't let your guard down. But I didn't wanna say it and jinx it, so I said nothing."

Rodon squared off against Alvarez, who is on a $115,000,000 contract with the Astros, earlier this month and the Astros slugger blasted a solo home run off the Yankees ace.
