Biographical Information[edit]

Pitcher Cody Carroll was a 22nd round selection by the New York Yankees in the 2015 amateur draft. Belying his relatively low draft rank, he moved quickly up the organizational ladder after putting up an ERA of 1.75 for the Pulaski Yankees of the Appalachian League in his first season. By the end of 2017, he was pitching in AA for the Trenton Thunder after starting the year with the Tampa Yankees where he had been a midseason All-Star in the Florida State League. He had a combined mark of 3-5, 2.54 with 7 saves in 39 games as a reliever, striking out 89 batters in 67 1/3 innings. Now on the prospect radar, he was 3-0, 2.81 in 32 games for the AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders at the start of 2018 before being traded to the Baltimore Orioles on July 24th, along with Dillon Tate and Josh Rogers, for Zach Britton.

After a couple of appearances with the Norfolk Tides, Carroll was called up on July 31, 2018, after the Orioles had completed their fire sale, and made his debut the next day, against his former team, the Yankees. He did well, coming on in relief of Alex Cobb with a 7-1 lead in the 7th and giving his team a scoreless inning of work. His three successors then allowed 4 runs over the final 2 innings, but Baltimore hung on for a rare 7-5 win. The rest of his work was not so good, Al. Cody made 15 appearances; in 17 innings of work, he allowed 17 runs, 21 hits and 13 walks for a 9.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP. He missed almost all of 2019 with injuries, making only two minor league appearances.
