Big velo PR today for @austinn_C8: +4.6 mph SK up to 89.2, 4S to 88.6 🔥 Fun data fact: that 4S came from a 4'9" release with 14.2" IVB, giving ~−4.0° VAA in the upper third of the zone (college avg ~−4.9°) 👀 Velo jumps can show up out of nowhere when you find the right

Big arm still on the board, whoever lands him is getting a competitor with real upside. 🔥 Cody has grown tremendously in the last 6 months. Whoever gets him next is getting a worker and a winner. Someone’s about to get a good one. 🤝🏼
Due to recent coaching staff changes at USC Upstate, I am no longer committed. I am now open to all Division 1 and JUCO programs and looking forward to exploring new opportunities. Cody Rogers - 2026 Grad/ LHP. FB: 87–90 (T91.7) Sinker: 86–87 CH: 78–80 SL: 77–79

This is exactly what I projected. 🔥 FB elevated, SL buried glove side → elite tunnel. Line: 3 IP | 1 H | 0 R | 8 K | 0 BB 46 pitches | 33 strikes | 19 swings | 10 whiffs Spin ticking back toward 2400 | Velo 90–91 Dodgers maximized him once before… and it looks like they’re

✅ Outcome Goal •Re-establish a defined identity instead of a scattershot five-pitch mix. •Either FB/SL (rebuilt) or SK/CB becomes the clear foundation, with the rest supporting. •Less predictability in location, but more consistent movement profiles → consistent tunnels and

🔧 My Recommendations for Andrew Heaney 1Slider vs. Curveball Decision ◦Option A: Rebuild the slider: tighten spin axis, repeat movement profile, and restore it to the consistent glove-side weapon it was in 2022. ◦Option B: If the slider can’t regain shape, elevate the

Final Take 🤝🏽 2022 Heaney was a whiff machine thanks to a prominent FB/SL plan. 2023–25 versions lost velo, command, and identity. Dodgers are betting their pitching lab can squeeze one last October run out of him.

How could he be used in October? •Multi-inning bridge (2–3 innings to save bullpen) •Matchup LHP vs Schwarber/Harper/Olson types •Bulk tandem starter behind an opener •Emergency depth if rotation injuries hit If Dodgers get anything close to 2022 Heaney → sneaky big

So why did LA bring him back? 🤔 •Low risk: minor league deal, Pirates eat most salary •Familiarity: Dodgers already maximized him once in ‘22 •Depth: signed before Aug 31 → postseason eligible •Flexibility: can start, bulk, or long relief Smart “lottery ticket” for

3️⃣ Pirates 2025 (Decline) •FB 90 mph, IVB down to 12.7” → very hittable •K% down to 16% (half his LA peak) •Over-mixed: 5-pitch blend (FB/SK/SL/CB/CH), no plus pitch •Command scatter, both LHH & RHH hammer him Identity gone. Contact-heavy, replacement-level profile.
