Cody
DelFavero

Parkland College signee. Currently ranked No. 179 in Illinois’ senior class. Stands in a strong 5-foot-10, 181-pound frame. Started in center field in the semi-final game and batted third. Impressed at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a home run, double, one RBI and one run scored. In his first at-bat of the game, took a curveball on the outer half down the left field line for a double, followed with a no-doubt home run over the right-center field wall for a solo shot, and stepped to the plate in his next at-bat and barreled a ball to right field, but the outfielder made a good diving play to save the hit. Took good swings throughout the day, stayed direct and on-plane from the left side of the plate. Defensively, showed off his arm on a play at home, making a strong throw to the plate on a line for a near-out on a sacrifice fly. DelFavero then got the start in the third place game for the 3A class on Saturday morning and continued his 2024 dominance on the hill. DelFavero tossed a complete-game shutout (eight innings), allowing just one hit, no walks, and punching out five to move his final record on the mound to a perfect 14-0 on the year. The southpaw pitches with a bulldog-mentality on the mound, going right at hitters (73% strikes) with his best stuff in the zone, unafraid to pitch to contact and trust his defense. His fastball sat in the low-80’s, topping out at 84 mph, while going to a big-breaking curveball for consistent swing and miss as his secondary.

Scrappy two-way prospect that continues to show well in front of our staff.
