Dunne

10/14/12 - Dunne is a strong, wide shouldered 6-foot-3, 210-pound right handed pitcher. He looks to be one of the premier unsigned arms in the state, as he throws out of a high ¾ arm slot with easy effort. His fastball shows a heavy feel and was thrown for strikes at 86-89 mph. His curveball is a power pitch that he showed the ability to throw for strikes, consistently at 77-78 mph with sharp 11/5 action. Dunne also featured a polished changeup, thrown with command at 78-80 mph with fastball arm action and arm side run. Dunne commanded everything he threw, all down in the zone, with heavy action.

At 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, Dunne is an extremely projectable right-hander who looks to be one of the more impressive Class of 2013 prospects in the state. Dunne has wide shoulders, strong lower half and a quick arm. Operating from a high-3/4 arm slot, Dunne’s fastball topped at 85 mph, sitting at 84, with late life. Dunne’s 71-73 mph curveball has the potential to be a legitimate out-pitch at the next level. His curveball has late hard bite, and when down in the zone, it is a swing-and-miss pitch. Dunne, who’s the son of former first-round draft pick, Mike Dunne, also throws a 72-74 mph changeup in which he turns over. As a position player, Dunne showed good arm strength at third base (83 mph) and solid hands. A left-handed hitter, Dunne showed left-handed power potential. Also a standout football player, Dunne’s velocity should steadily increase as he gets in baseball shape.
