Defense isn’t often considered an asset for most first basemen. It wasn’t a strength of Cody Henry when during his freshman season at the University of Alabama in 2015. But it’s been a different story during his sophomore season.
Henry has made 20 consecutive starts as Alabama’s first baseman, dating back to April 5. He batted third all weekend against Auburn and saved a likely extra-base hit in Sunday’s 8-1 loss, snagging a ground ball in the sixth inning that likely would have tap danced down the first base line and into the corner if he hadn’t gotten to it.
