A member of the board of directors of The Arc of Benton County, Cody Gotchall is working toward earning a transfer degree in business online. Cody Gotchall is a fan of baseball and has enjoyed following the Oregon State University (OSU) Baseball team since he was in middle school.
This year's OSU Beavers baseball team is led by one of the most-hyped prospects since Bryce Harper. Despite his success working with the team's pitching staff as a freshman, catcher Adley Rutschman struggled at the plate, hitting just .234 in the regular season and .164 the following fall in the Cape Cod League. He worked extensively on his swing during the offseason and returned to Oregon for the 2018 season as one of the best college players in the country.
Rutschman registered a .408 batting average during his sophomore season and earned recognition as Most Outstanding Player during the 2018 College World Series. Now in his third season, the switch-hitting catcher boasted a .427 batting average to go along with 16 home runs as of May 22. As a result, he is expected to go first overall in this year's MLB Draft. Only one catcher, Joe Mauer, has been drafted in that position since 1975.
