PROFILE |
| Sodders made 11 starts as a sophomore in 2015 for Riverside CC and posted a 2.03 ERA in 79.2 innings. He had a .256 BAA and an 11:58 BB/SO ratio. In high school, he dominated with a fastball that reached the upper-80s and a mid-70s curve. He was a two-way player, but went undrafted out of high school. He comes from a baseball family. His dad was drafted in 1981 in the 11th round and his older brother was drafted in the 31st round in 2010. At his size/age, he seems like a projectable arm with some possible upside. |
