High School Crosscheck: Week 12
May 6, 2019
After more than a week off, RHP Jose Dicochea (Sahuarita HS, AZ) got the start in a 3A playoff game and didn’t miss a beat. The Arizona recruit was 90-94 mph, touching 95 multiple times. He was able to hold his velo the entire game, ending it with 14 strikeouts and a no-hitter on back-to-back 94 mph fastballs. Despite some questions with the arm action, Dicochea is able to repeat his delivery and stay in the strike zone. His only hiccup came in the sixth inning with a hit batter. He didn’t need to use his breaking ball much, but flashed a couple hammers late at 75-77. The changeup is a work in progress at 80-82.
