Cody White

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Los Angeles Dodgers #24 prospect in 2007
  At the outset of the season, it was uncertain whether White had much of a future in the organization. His flippant attitude toward his development was his most significant impediment, but he took his career more seriously in 2006 and turned a corner. He played on the same American Legion team in Texas as 2006 first-rounder Drew Stubbs. He was a talented hitter, and also played basketball in high school, indicators of his athletic ability. He was one of Ogden's most reliable relievers and followed the season up with an outstanding showing during instructional league. White has an aggressive approach and attacks both sides of the plate with a three-pitch mix. He works off an 88-92 mph fastball that has occasional plus sink. His curveball has good action down and away from lefthanders, and he has feel for a changeup, which fades from righties. Lefties hit .103 against him last year, and his calling could be out of the bullpen as a situational reliever. He will report to high Class A in 2007 to build on his success of last season.
