LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 South Top Prospect Showcase
Cody Railsback is a slender and very projectable 6'4" pitcher from Denton, TX, who we’ve seen on a number of occasions. He has very smooth pitching mechanics and an easy, loose arm that really works well. Railsback has three quality pitches in his fastball, curveball and change up. His change up is probably the best of the three. He throws it about 76 mph and has excellent arm speed and deception on the pitch. Railsback’s fastball touched 88 mph from the windup and was 85-86 mph from the stretch. He's been even better! His curveball is 71-74 mph with a big, sharp two-plane break. Railsback repeats his delivery very well, and should be able to spot the ball very well in the strike zone. With the stuff he has, Railsback has a chance to be a high draft pick. With some added movement and greater attention to pitch location, Railsback should become a dominant star college pitcher. Cody is a very good student.
