Former Kentucky pitcher, now a Texas Rangers prospect, needs Tommy John surgery

The Cole with the brightest pitching future in the Texas Rangers’ organization, 2016 first-round pick Cole Ragans, underwent Tommy John surgery in late March.

Alex Speas, the second-rounder that year, underwent the same operation in late June.

Kyle Cody, the Rangers’ Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2017 and a sixth-round pick out of the University of Kentucky in 2016, will have the procedure Thursday.
