Cody made total 72 points.
Cody Ranked #7 out of the 80
He missed two catches which lowered his score.
Otherwise, he would have ranked in the top 5.

langskins-
Each tryout is different. He is in Columbus today at Golden Park where he is trying out for Minor league. There will be many scouts there today too from MLB. They have these tryouts several times and several places throughout the year all over the state.

The one he went to Monday, he was a the youngest one there. There were 80 tyring out, all 23 and up. He actually placed 7th overall in his score though. Not bad for a kid who has not yet turned 16.   |

That sounds pretty GREAT to me! I bet you're SOOO proud of him! I know we are. We look forward to hearing how he does today. Those scouts will stand up and take notice of a 15 year old that can keep up with the adults.

MLB Tryouts at Columbus, GA 6-15-2005 There were about an estimated 400 men trying out today. Once again, Cody was the youngest there. He did an outstanding job today and is waiting for a phone call. His progress today: Age-almost 16 height 6'4" weight 175 60 yard dash- 7.4 Outfield results- they fielded from right field and had to throw to third base twice. They had to field from right field and throw to home twice. Cody was only one of three perfect scores. Infield results-short stop They hit a line drive to him and had to to catch it and throw to first. He caught three out of four line drives and he threw 4 out of 4 pitches to first baseman right on the money. He only had one error on short stop. Batting: He was thrown 4 pitches. Three were line drives and one was towards first base. He hit them all. Overall-The MLB scout asked Cody some personal information, showing much interest in him. We are waitingand praying to hear from them now. These results are sent to 30 ML Teams. Maybe one of them will need a good outfielder or short stop. Today he was #65 and the MLB scout commented that he was an outstanding player. Next tryout Next tryout is next Monday 6-20-2005 in Merietta, Georgia or The Orioles.
