"Cody finished his junior year in college hitting .331/.430/.623 in 58 games. He was the top player on his team, and one of the strongest producers in the SoCon. With solid production in the Cape Cod league where he hit .261/.333/.449 the Braves saw enough and picked him in the third round. Cody's stay in the complex was short and he made 26 starts after being drafted. In Augusta, Cody would hit .372/.412/.488 in 10 games which gave him a 163 wRC+."
"The walk rate was a bit low, sitting at 6.3% and something you definitely want to see rise, you can't really complain about his results. The Braves agreed, and after 10 games promoted Cody to Rome. Cody would play 26 games for the Rome Emperors and showed out by hitting .297/.357/.422 despite playing by far the most games he's played in a single season."
