View Draft Report

Dicochea is arguably the best Arizona high school arm in a weak year for pitching in the state, but the reliever projection that the Arizona commit gets from most scouts makes it tough to see him being picked before Day 3. Dicochea throws a fastball sitting 92-95 mph, but uses a rough delivery with a stab on the backside and an inconsistent release point. He locates a 75-78 mph slider that has good depth. Dicochea has a lively arm and a lean, projectable build, so there may be more to come if he smooths out the delivery and makes it more repeatable. He pitched a no-hitter during the state 3A championship tournament.
