View Draft Report

Dorsey was drafted in the 17th round by the Rangers in 2022 after his freshman season at Gulf Coast State (Fla.) JC, but opted to stay in school. He eventually transferred to Florida State, where he this spring was pushed into the rotation mid-year after a series of injuries for the Seminoles. He ran with that opportunity and pitched especially well in the NCAA Tournament, going 3-0, 2.14 in three starts. His fastball sits in the low 90s and its life helps it play up. He mixes in a changeup, a big curveball and a cutter. At his best, he pounds the strike zone with his full arsenal and keeps hitters off balance.

School: Gulf Coast (Fla.) JC Committed/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 19.4
A 6-foot-3 lefthander with a sneaky fastball, Dorsey led all Gulf Coast (Fla.) JC pitchers in innings this spring, and posted a 3.07 ERA over 12 starts and 58.1 innings, with 102 strikeouts (15.7 K/9) and 39 walks (6.0 BB/9). While he mostly sits in the 88-89 mph range with his fastball, the pitch plays up thanks to impressive riding life and he generates tons of whiffs with the pitch. His secondaries need improvement, but he has solid qualities to like and is an intriguing 19-year-old juco southpaw.
