Uncommitted Spotlight: 2025 LHP Kade Dobbs

(4/19/24)

Dobbs is a Jr. LHP from Angleton that looked really sharp in his bullpen at Rice. He has a low effort delivery that he repeats well. He has a four-pitch mix that he commanded well led by his fastball. He showed the ability to throw it to all four quadrants of the zone with good command. He also threw two different breaking balls, a slower curveball in the low 70’s with good depth.  He also threw a slider in the upper 70’s with a late, short horizontal break. A great pitch to induce early contact or get back in the count. He flashed a good changeup as well, throwing it with the same arm speed as his fastball.  Dobbs topped out at 84.5, but with some added strength and added intent, Dobbs could see a big jump in his velo.
