Semler played multiple positions for the Rams in the field and finished his senior season with 37 hits and 34 runs scored... An Allen native, Semler was second in the Lone Star Conference with 12 stolen bases this season and ended the season having reached base in all eight NCAA Division II postseason games... He started 50 games for the Rams with 22 in left field, 15 at second base, nine at third base and one in center field and another in right field. Semler finished the 2015 season with a .362 on-base percentage and had five doubles and two home runs... His second home run was a three-run shot against St. Mary’s to lead the Rams to the NCAA Division II South Central Championship after he had scored four runs in an elimination-game win over CSU-Pueblo to help ASU reach the regional final... Semler, who hit .346 against left-handed pitching last season and had three three-hit performances in conference play, transferred to ASU after playing his junior season at West Virginia and his sophomore and freshman seasons at Weatherford College.

Prior to Angelo State
Cody Semler joins the Angelo State baseball program after playing last season at West Virginia University and the previous two seasons at Weatherford College. Semler, who was a 37th round selection by the San Diego Padres in the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft, hit .240 last season at WVU in 25 at-bats. At Weatherford, the 5-foot-10 middle infielder, hit .298 with 31 RBI during his sophomore season. He also had a home run, a triple and seven doubles in his second junior college season after hitting .291 with five doubles as a freshman. A standout high school player at Allen, Semler hit .275 with four home runs and drove in 20 runs as a senior. He played last summer for the Lorain County Ironmen in the Prospect League.

"He can run, he does a great job handling the bat and he should be really solid defensively for us," ASU head coach Kevin Brooks said. "He was a guy we wanted to get last year and we're excited to be able to add him this year. He's a really good middle infielder but has the ability to play outfield too. Cody is a versatile player with a lot of talent."
