School: Mississippi State
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.5
BA Grade: 45/High
Tools: Fastball: 55. Slider: 55. Curveball: 50. Changeup: 40. Control: 50.

Dohm is a 6-foot-4, 210-pound righthander who flashed impressive swing-and-miss stuff with Ball State in 2022 but also struggled to throw consistent strikes. He transferred to Mississippi State for the 2023 season where he cut his walk rate significantly, then was one of the most dominant starters in the country through his first four weeks in the 2024 season before an arm injury caused him to miss most of the rest of the season before making a few brief outings in May. He posted a 1.23 ERA over 29.1 innings and six starts with a 32.7% strikeout rate and 3.5% walk rate. Dohm pitches heavily off a 93-95 mph fastball that touches 96 and has impressive riding life that allows him to miss bats at the top of the zone. His best breaking ball is a short-breaking mid-80s slider, but he will also mix in a slower curveball around 80 mph that has a bit more depth, as well as an upper-80s changeup he throws to the arm side against lefties. If healthy all season, Dohm was pitching like a potential top-three round arm thanks to his pure stuff and command. His draft stock is more uncertain now, but he should still fit as a day two talent.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High.

Track Record: Dohm played high school ball in Indiana and attended Ball State as a college freshman in 2022. He transferred to Mississippi State in 2023 and then came out firing as a junior in 2024. Dohm emerged as the Bulldogs’ Friday night starter and dominated in non-conference play before an arm injury sidelined him for most of March and April. In 29.1 innings in eight appearances, he pitched to a 1.23 ERA with 37 strikeouts and four walks.

Scouting Report: The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Dohm has a starter’s build and repertoire, but what he lacks is workload. He pitched mostly relief for two college seasons and then made just six starts in his draft year, but none of duration against a Southeastern Conference opponent. Dohm is a fastball-dominant starter whose above-average riding four-seamer sat 94 mph and touched 96 in 2024. He throws a short mid-80s slider that also has above-average potential. His low-80s slow curveball and high-80s changeup give him different looks for later in games or against lefthanded hitters. After struggling with control earlier in his college career, Dohm threw a lot of strikes in 2024.

The Future: The Mets laud Dohm for his work ethic, which will serve him well as he focuses on developing his secondary pitches and building his workload. He also has to prove he can hold velocity deep into starts over a pro season as he makes his debut in the low minors in 2025.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 55 | Curveball: 50 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 50.
