2015 MLB Draft Profile: Cody Ponce, RHP, Cal Poly Pomona

This year's top pitcher from the small-school ranks, Ponce has size, athleticism, velocity and an interesting arsenal of secondary pitches that make him formidable on the mound.

Measurables

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 235 lbs.

Class: JR

Summary

Though he may pitch for Division II Cal Poly Pomona, Ponce does not fit the mold of a typical small school prospect. With prototypical size, plus athleticism and a mid-90s fastball, it's a surprise that Ponce isn't at one of California's bigger baseball programs. Watching Ponce's mechanics, it's not a shock that he is a Kinesiology major, as they are very clean.
