Cody Greenhill

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #329 prospect in 2020 draft
  Greenhill showed impressive stuff out of high school during his senior season in 2017, with a fastball that got into the mid-90s. Scouts at the time balked at paying him out of high school because of his reliever risk, and they were right with that assessment. Greenhill has been a reliable bullpen arm for Auburn since his freshman season, when he led the team with a 2.30 ERA over 21 games and 58.2 innings of work. He was again a workhorse reliever in 2019, when he posted a 3.45 ERA over 57.1 innings while leading the Tigers with 12 saves—the most from an Auburn pitcher since 2005. Listed at 6-foot-4, 216 pounds, Greenhill has a fastball in the 91-94 mph range with riding life that he pairs with a slider that is average at its best. The pitch blends between a fringe-average and average offering, but it tunnels well with his fastball to keep hitters honest. Because Greenhill doesn’t have huge pure stuff and has a straight reliever profile, he would likely go after the 10th round in a normal draft, leaving his draft status up in the air for the five-round draft. Before the season ended, Greenhill had yet to allow a run through 12.2 innings, while striking out 17 batters and walking one.
• Ranked #439 prospect in 2017 draft
  Greenhill is one of the most electric pitchers in the state of Alabama this spring. He has plus arm speed and his fastball can reach the mid-90s. Greenhill has a loose, athletic lower half, giving him the foundation to repeat his delivery and develop better control, but he has a tendency to rush his delivery and he often struggles to consistently find his arm slot. He's shown some flashes with his changeup and sweeping breaking ball, but both lack consistency. Some scouts see Greenhill as a future reliever and would like to see him prove himself in college before paying him significantly. He is committed to Auburn.
