Twins Video
Cody William Stashak was born on June 4, 1994 in Somers Point, New Jersey.
The Minnesota Twins selected him in round 13 of the 2015 MLB Draft out of St. John's University. After beginning his minor league career as a starting pitcher, Stashak transitioned to the bullpen in 2018. He had a 2.91 ERA with 11.2 K/9 and four saves at the Double-A level that season. Stashak had a 1.61 ERA through 22.1 innings at the Triple-A level in 2019, and was called up to the Majors in late July.
He made his Major League debut against the New York Yankees on July 23, 2019. Stashak pitched two shutout innings, working around some traffic on the base paths. He struck out Aaron Judge with two outs and runners at the corners to close out his first inning of the night, and got Gary Sanchez to ground into a double play to end his second inning. Minnesota wound up losing the game 14-12 in extra innings.
Stashak worked 25.0 innings out of the Twins bullpen in the second half of 2019, going 0-1 with a 3.24 ERA. He made their postseason roster, allowing two runs across 1.2 innings.
Minnesota opened the COVID shortened 2020 campaign by trusting Stashak with a regular bullpen role. He went 1-0 with four holds in 15.0 innings, owning a 3.00 ERA and a 0.933 WHIP. Stashak missed two weeks at the end of August with lower back inflammation, but was back for the stretch run in September. He allowed a crucial home run to Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa in game two of the 2020 Wild Card Round.
Stashak had walked just four hitters in 40 big league innings between 2019 and 2020, but he lost command early in 2021 by walking ten opponents in 15.2 innings. The Twins placed him on the injured list with another back injury, ending his season. He looked like his old self again early in 2022, but a torn labrum in his right throwing shoulder ended his year after just 16.1 innings.
The Twins removed Stashak from their 40-man roster following the 2022 season. He spent 2023 and 2024 on a minor league deal with the Giants, but was limited to just 32 games between the two seasons due to various injuries. As of 2025, Stashak is pitching in Mexico.
