WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
Clode signed later than the usual, at age 19, after he started hitting 94 mph. He also has a good feel for a slider and change.
2021 Clode got a lot of work, appearing in 17 games, and didn’t have great numbers. The worst of it came in his first few games. 2022 In his second DSL season, Clode dominated, although he appeared in only ten games. He missed several weeks in August. Opponents managed just a .472 OPS against him on the season, right-handed batters only .410. Clode’s 2022 performance might or might not have been the result of him dominating younger hitters. He’ll pitch nearly all of the 2023 season at age 21. |
