Sean Cody is UIC’s freshman spark plug at shortstop with real two-way upside
In the 2026 season, Sean Cody has emerged as a steady freshman presence for UIC, starting at shortstop and flashing a contact-oriented bat with timely RBI hits plus plus infield defense; he was named MVC Freshman of the Week after batting .455 in a key series and was later cited for “stellar defense” at shortstop. He also brings some offensive pop from his high-school profile, which makes him more than just a glove-first middle infielder. If a team wants a young, competitive SS/RHP with upside, energy, and a strong make-up marker, Cody is absolutely worth a look.
