01/18/2013 - Arizona National Spring Training Cody is an athletic SS that will graduate in 2013. Foot speed is solid as indicated by his 7.21 60 time. Feet are quick / athletic as he attacks ground balls, working around, and playing through well with his body. Hands are soft / clean / sure and he presents well out front. He moves well laterally, displaying range in the MIF. Throws are accurate, flashing carry as he gets rid of the baseball quickly but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Watkins shows a balanced approach with rhythm. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed through a level swing path. Barrel accuracy is a plus with power numbers improving as he learns to use his lower half more. At the event, he was 5 for 6 as he had an outstanding tournament at the plate. Mental makeup is a plus as he plays the game hard and leads by example. Cody has potential and will catch the eyes of the collegiate coaches as he improves.
