RHP Scott Dunn puzzled scouts with his inconsistency. He threw as hard as 93 mph on occasion. His arm action is a little stiff and his mechanics will need reworking.

Organization Prospect Rankings
Statistically, Dunn had one of the best seasons of any pitcher in the organization. He garnished his .786 winning percentage at Class A Clinton with 159 strikeouts, third-best in the system, and a 3.96 ERA, good for eighth. He fired a perfect game Aug. 3 against Lansing, striking out 12 as part of a nine-game winning streak. Dunn has several qualities that suggest he has potential for advancement: smooth mechanics, an above-average fastball with plenty of life and a curveball that can be downright nasty. He's also quick to the plate and holds runners on base proficiently. Dunn still needs to work on his command, especially with his curveball, and must work on developing his changeup. He's yet another candidate for what seems certain to be a prospect-laden team at Chattanooga.
