Description
Cody Michael Payne Scarpetta is a minor league baseball pitcher in the Atlanta Braves organization. A second-generation minor league pitcher, he is the son of Dan Scarpetta and the nephew of Dennis Scarpetta. His cousin Brett was drafted by the White Sox and the Braves but did not sign.
Scarpetta was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 11th round of the 2007 amateur entry draft out of Guilford High School, signing him away from Creighton University on a $125,000 signing bonus. His original contract was voided, however, when it was discovered he needed surgery on his finger. He was signed to a new, one-year minor league contract, and could've become a minor league free agent after his first year, but that option was eliminated when the Brewers placed him on their roster, also protecting him from the Rule V Draft.
In 2008, he split the season between the Rookie league Arizona Brewers and Helena Brewers, going 2-0 in 12 appearances with a 2.23 ERA, striking out 58 in 36.1 innings. He pitched 2009 with Single-A Wisconsin, where in 26 appearances, he went 4-11 with a 3.43 ERA, striking out 116 in 105 innings.
