Baseball career
Hodge was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 13th round of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[1] He made his professional debut that year with the Arizona League Cubs.
Hodge did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] He returned in 2021 to play for the Arizona Complex League Cubs and Myrtle Beach Pelicans. Hodge pitched 2022 with Myrtle Beach and the South Bend Cubs.[3] He started 2023 with the Tennessee Smokies.
On November 14, 2023, the Cubs added Hodge to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He was optioned to Double–A Tennessee to begin the 2024 season.[4] On May 17, 2024, Hodge was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[5] Hodge made his major league debut on May 22, striking out the side in the ninth inning of a loss to the Atlanta Braves. He was one pitch away from an immaculate inning.
