Dingman is another Yankees draft-and-follow, returning for his sophomore season at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College after getting drafted in 1992. He showed potential with 51 strikeouts in 32 innings in the Gulf Coast League in his pro debut in 1994, then missed all of 1995 after having elbow surgery. Dingman made a full recovery and has posted remarkable minor league numbers. He's a pure power pitcher, throwing a 93-95 mph fastball and a high-80s slider. He's also working on a splitter that could make him tougher on lefthanders. Dingman has a deceptive delivery, which gives batters less time to pick up his pitches. He got knocked around in 10 big league appearances last year, but he's ready for a spot in New York's bullpen.
