Cody Bradford Impressive In Triple-A Debut
2 years agoTexas Rangers left-handed pitching prospect Cody Bradford made his Triple-A debut this past week and worked into the sixth inning without allowing any runs. The 25-year-old southpaw demonstrated solid command, building on the 10.51 K/9 and 2.26 BB/9 he accumulated throughout his first three seasons of affiliated ball. A sixth-round pick out of Baylor in 2019, Bradford checks in at 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds. He is viewed as a solid left-hander whose repertoire might be good enough to keep him in the rotation long-term. Bradford owns a low-to-mid-90s fastball that misses bats and pairs well with his deceptive changeup. These two pitches are Bradford's best offerings, but he also has a cutter and slider, both of which show up on the radar gun in the low-to-mid-80s. He has really impressive poise and control on the mound, which has translated to his performance in the minors and could serve him well at the big-league level in no time.
