Cody Airington has emerged as Austin Peay’s workhorse righty, with starter upside and draft buzz
In the 2026 season, Cody Airington led Austin Peay with 14 starts, logged 63.1 innings, and posted a 5.12 ERA with 47 strikeouts and a .258 opponent batting average; he also flashed volume and toughness with career-long outings of seven and eight innings. He returned after being drafted in 2026, which signals real confidence in his upside and a strong competitive edge. The fit is clear: he’s a durable, strike-throwing right-hander who can anchor a weekend rotation, though the next step is sharpening consistency and run prevention.
