Contemplating the Crawdads

Cody Eppley, the newest Crawdad in the pond, made his debut on the mound in Hickory this afternoon in relief of Wilmer Font after just 3.2 frames. Eppley tossed 2.0 innings, giving up 4 hits while fanning 2 in his debut with the 'Dads. Contrary to what the photograph may indicate, Cody is not the bustiest guy on the team :) His side-arm delivery is quite entertaining though... Eppley is in Hickory to fill the spot of Joseph Ortiz, who is on the disabled list.

Cody Eppley stacks up at 6'5" and 205 lbs and he's from Dillsburg, PA. He was acquired in the 43rd round of the 2008 June draft. Eppley pitched 27.2 innings in 21 games in the AZL (Rookie) and sported a 2-2 record with a 2.60 ERA...

Welcome Cody :)
