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.
