About Me

At Cody Morris Pitching & Performance, I help pitchers grow with purpose — combining real professional experience with individualized coaching focused on long-term success.

My Story

The Story Of Cody Morris Pitching & Performance

Baseball has always been more than a game to me — it’s been a teacher, a challenge, and a lifelong passion. Growing up in Maryland, I learned early that success on the mound comes from discipline, preparation, and resilience. Those lessons carried me through a state championship at Reservoir High School and later to the University of South Carolina, where I had the opportunity to compete at one of the highest levels of college baseball.

In 2018, I was selected in the 7th round of the MLB Draft by the Cleveland Guardians, beginning my professional journey. Over the next several seasons, I worked my way through the minor leagues, learning firsthand what it takes to develop, adapt, and compete in professional baseball.

In September 2022, I reached a lifelong goal — pitching in the Major Leagues. That season included a postseason appearance and unforgettable moments that shaped how I view preparation, performance, and pressure.

Like many athletes, my path wasn’t without adversity. Injuries and setbacks eventually led me to a new chapter. After time with the New York Yankees organization and continued challenges with my elbow, I made the difficult decision to retire from professional baseball in 2024.

Today, my focus is on giving back to the game that gave me so much — helping pitchers develop not only better mechanics, but stronger confidence, healthier arms, and a mindset built for long-term success.
