Cody
Callaway

2/18/13
6-foot-2, 180-pound two-way prospect. The verdict is still out on his best position at the next level. On this occasion, he showed best as a position player, likely projecting as a third baseman at the next level. In the field, he took good routes to the ball and showed some softness in his hands. He uses a quick transfer and reached a top velocity of 79 mph across the infield. At the plate, he showed good balance and a simple rhythm to his swing. He consistently squared the ball up and showed good bat speed into the zone (87 mph exit velocity off the tee). On the mound, he throws from a loose ¾ arm slot. On the mound the two-way prospect showed a fastball ranging from 80-83. He used a solid 11/5 tight breaking ball at 71-73 mph and a changeup at 74 mph. It was clear Cody is not yet at full arm strength with the spring season still over a month away from beginning.

Callaway is a talented, athletic two-way prospect and definite follow in the Class of 2014. In the field, he likely projects as a third baseman at the next level, but shows range and good lateral movement at shortstop. He displays soft hands and good glove work, especially to his backhand side. He reached a top velocity of 80 mph across the infield. At the plate, the right-handed hitter uses rotational mechanics. He uses a smooth, easy load along with quick hands and a slight uphill bat path that creates a consistent line drive swing. With his size and frame, he will continue to add power. On the mound, he uses quick arm action to generate a 79-83 mph fastball. His curveball, which has a tight 11/4 break, sits between 66-68 mph, and his slider sits at 70 mph. He shows good command of his 73 mph changeup, which lacks movement, but is thrown near the same arm speed of his fastball.

Projectable young arm with potential two-way abilities at the next level. Clean delivery with good balance. Gets front and backside extension with hip pop and finish. Repeats delivery with moderate arm speed from 3/4 slot. Fastball ranges 82-85 mph with some late movement. Has effective slurvy type curveball (74-75 mph) and some sink action on changeup (77-78 mph). *He was throwing after a football camp on Monday.
