Cody comes to Bridgeport for his first season of professional baseball, on the heels of a successful collegiate career. Stiles, who began his career at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and later transferred to Nova Southern University, was drafted out of high school by the New York Yankees in the 39th round of Major League Baseball’s 2009 Amateur Draft.

Following his four-year varsity career at JP Taravella HS, in which he was voted an All-American, he went on to pitch two years at UNC before transferring to Nova Southern.
