Corvallis Knights News Release


The Corvallis Knights have signed University of Portland sophomore pitcher Kody Watts for the 2013 season, general manager Bre Kerkvliet said Monday.

A 6-foot-3, 185-pound right-hander from Skyview High in Vancouver, Wash., Watts was 2-3 with a 4.97 ERA in 18 games for the Pilots in 2012, with 19 strikeouts in 29 innings. He then pitched in the West Coast League for the Cowlitz Black Bears and was 3-2 with a 4.97 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 25.1 innings over 16 appearances.

He was a four-time letter winner at Skyview and was a St. Helens League all-star. After his senior year he was selected in the 15th round of the 2011 MLB draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates as the 452nd overall pick, but did not sign.

Watts is the fourth member of the 2013 Pilots to sign with the Knights, joining pitcher Colin Feldtman and infielders Cody Lenahan and Michael Lucarelli.

The Knights open the 2013 season on June 4 with a nonconference game against the Portland Lobos at Goss Stadium.
