Draft Prospects
-
Hodges is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound righthander who has racked up plenty of strikeouts and walks over his four collegiate seasons, starting with UNC Wilmington and finishing with TCU—as a reliever at both schools. This spring Hodges posted a 1.86 ERA over 19.1 innings with a 42.9% strikeout rate and a 16.9% walk rate. He throws a 90-93 mph fastball that features some cutting action, but used the pitch only around 20% of the time this spring, instead throwing a heavy diet of low-80s curveballs and mid-80s sliders. Both are high-spin offerings that get near 3,000 rpm. Hodges generated a miss rate north of 50% with both pitches this spring, though his control is well below-average. -

Hodges is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound reliever who rarely throws his fastball but instead relies on a pair of high-spin breaking balls to rack up both tons of strikeouts and tons of walks. He pitched two seasons as a heavy-usage reliever with UNC Wilmington before transferring to TCU for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. He throws an 80-mph curveball and mid-80s slider nearly 80% of the time in combined usage and both pitches have high spin rates in the 2,800+ rpm range and generated whiffs more than 50% of the time in 2024. The curveball is a 12-to-6 hammer with tons of downer action and the slider is a tighter pitch with less vertical and horizontal movement that still sneaks under barrels. He throws his 90-92 mph fastball about 20% of the time. Hodges is an unusual profile with well below-average control but a team into his ability to spin the ball could view him as a senior sign target.
