Hayden Cody is San Diego’s steady bullpen bridge with late-inning bite
In the 2026 season, Hayden Cody has been a useful right-handed relief arm for San Diego, working key middle- and late-inning spots and showing the kind of toughness coaches love when a game gets messy. He has shown swing-and-miss ability in big moments, including a scoreless finish in the Toreros’ season opener and a bases-loaded escape against USC, but he can still be hittable at times. His value is the poise: he battles, throws strikes under pressure, and can give you multiple innings when the bullpen needs a grown-up.
