                         HONORING CODY STASHAK

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, Cody Stashak grew up in Mays Landing in 
south Jersey. He graduated from Oakcrest High School in 2012 where he 
played baseball for the Falcons and went on to attend Cumberland County 
College for 2 years where he played baseball, as well.
  Cody moved on from our south Jersey district to St. John's University 
in New York where he continued to excel in his sport. Now Cody has 
moved to the major leagues. Cody was drafted to the Minnesota Twins in 
2015 where he was mainly used as a relief pitcher.
  This year Cody made his major league debut in a recent game against 
the New York Yankees where he allowed only four hits and he struck out 
three. Cody, your talent and dedication are admirable, and we are so 
impressed with how far you have come.
  Cody might be in Minnesota now, but we know that he is south Jersey 
through and through and his south Jersey community is rooting for him. 
I am happy to say that I have known Cody's father and his grandfather 
through the years, and I know how proud they are and how proud south 
Jersey is of its star.
