Dakota (Cody) Sollid, LHP, Grand Ledge HS, 2013   


Today we turn our attention to a submarine pitcher way under the radar (pardon the pun).  Cody Sollid from Grand Ledge is a pitcher who certainly will not wow you with velocity or physical stature. Instead Sollid brings a uniqueness that has to be the right fit for a program.  

As a side-winder, Sollid is effective.  He threw a no hitter this summer against the ATH Stampede.  In addition to that he won the semi-final game for Grand Ledge beating Lansing Catholic, where threw a one-hitter while striking out 9 batters.
