Jack Dashwood

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #255 prospect in 2019 draft
  Dashwood redshirted his freshman year at UC Santa Barbara after having Tommy John surgery, but returned to spend the last two seasons as a reliable starter in the Gauchos' rotation. Dashwood is physically huge at 6-foot-6, 240 pounds. He pitches at 88-90 mph and ramps up to 92-93 mph with a fastball he moves around the strike zone. Dashwood's slicing breaking ball tunnels well off his fastball and shows good depth. He throws everything for strikes despite his big body and demonstrates impressive pitchability and toughness, staying composed in adverse conditions. Dashwood's upright delivery isn't particularly functional and his stuff is a little short to project as a starter, but evaluators think his fastball could tick up out of the bullpen and like him as a potential lefthanded reliever.
• Ranked #397 prospect in 2016 draft
  Dashwood checks a lot of boxes and was the best pitcher in the San Diego area for much of the last two seasons. He throws a lot of strikes with a solid-average fastball that sits 88-91 mph and uses both a four-seamer and a two-seamer. He doesn't hold his velocity and usually pitches with below-average velocity. His control stands out above his fastball life, and at 6-foot-6, he's fairly adept at staying tall in his delivery and driving the ball downhill. Dashwood's changeup flashes above-average with good feel and is ahead of his curveball, a clear third pitch. He's committed to UC Santa Barbara and a late signability drop made it unlikely he would have his signability number met.
