The Lexington Legends boast some unusual attractions for local baseball fans this week, beginning Tuesday night when a former University of Kentucky standout takes the hill for the visitors.
Kyle Cody, who pitched for the Wildcats from 2013-16, will be the starting pitcher for the Hickory Crawdads when they take on the Legends at Whitaker Bank Ballpark at 7:05 p.m.
Cody was selected by the Texas Rangers in the sixth round of the June 2016 draft. He was 2-5 with Spokane of the Northwest League in 2016, and has a record of 1-4 with a 3.41 earned run average for Hickory this season.
