If you were not able to get on base via walk, you were not going to find much success with the bat as he allowed just a .182 batting average against"
"Pretty much everything went right for Cory in 2025. He got a lot of looks from important people during Spring Training, and played well throughout the season. His unique pitching style does aide in his numbers, especially at the lower levels, but he pitched well throughout the entire season. He located his four seam fastball quite well in the upper third, and was able to use his slider as a whiff generating pitch.Little went wrong for Cory, he pitched well throughout the season."
Cory was drafted by the Braves in the eighth round of the 2023 MLB Draft and signed for $47,500.
