Chase Dollander RHP, College(Tennesee). DOB: 10/26/2001. 6'3", 200 lbs.
2021(Georgia Southern)- 4-3, 4.04, 49 IP, 28 BB, 64 K.
2022(Tennessee)- 10-0, 2.39, 79 IP, 13 BB, 108 K.
Dollander is the consensus top college pitcher in the draft and at least and Prospects Live ranks him #1 overall. Lightly scouted and recruited out of high school, he demonstrated a jump in velocity during his freshman season at Georgia Southern then tranferred to the SEC school for his sophomore campaign where he dominated the toughest college conference. Scouting reports have him with a mid-90's FB up to 98 MPH which he can throw both up and down in the strike zone. He has 3 advanced secondary offerings including a slider, curve and changeup. On video, he has an easy compact 3/4 delivery with lightning quick arm speed producing pitches that explode from behind his right ear with almost no time for the batter to start tracking pre-release. Barring injury, which is always the fear with highly drafted pitching prospects, he should move through a farm system quickly with MLB ETA as early as midseason 2024 and it's not out of the question that he could pitch in the majors immediately after the draft.
