Scouting Dane Dunning

Dane Dunning     RHP        Kannapolis Intimidators (Low-A Chicago White Sox)

Fastball (55/60) / Slider (45/50) / Curveball (30/30) / Changeup (50/55)

7-Word Scouting Report: Above-Average Fastball, Developing Secondary Offerings, #4/#5 Profile  

1st round pick, 29th overall in 2016 by Washington from the University of Florida; traded as part of the Adam Eaton swap.  Listed as 6-4 200lbs, lean body with projection remaining.  22.5 y/o with 3/4s arm slot, repeats mechanics reasonably well but will alter leg-kick between waist-high and letter-high.  Deception in his delivery, slightly closed to righties and hides ball well.  Polished pitcher for Low-A, holds runners, fields his position and sets up hitters – will change eye level, works both sides of the plate, keeps the ball down in the zone.

For the day of market launce of levitra prescription on line all the men and women felt the shy of relief for having this kind of a must medicine.

4-pitch repertoire – Fastball sits 91-93mph, T94 2x with sink, pounds the lower part of the strike zone but can elevate to change eye level.  Pitch can show cut at lower velocities.  Slider (80-83mph) was inconsistent in this viewing, early the pitch was round and rather slurvy; pitch improved during appearance with good tilt and better shape.  Curveball (74-76mph) was thrown twice, loopy pitch used as a change of pace offering.  Changeup (82-84mph) shows good arm speed and arm-side fade, can locate it for strikes, additional repetitions will improve consistency.

Polished collegiate pitcher far too advanced for Low-A.  Used in relief and mid-week starts in college, so arm has less wear than average.  Fastball is a future plus and his changeup, slider and command could be average or better with development.  Biggest risk is the distance to the major leagues.  Dunning profiles as a back-end starting pitcher, with the ceiling of a mid-rotation starter if the secondary pitches both get to above-average.  High-floor, medium risk prospect.  Should reach High-A before Memorial Day & major league ETA is 2019.

    • Definitely will not be there Friday… Traffic, rain and dog responsibilities will keep me away. Will definitely be there Monday AM and probably Sunday as well.
