Feb 2021 Report
Evaluator: Tyler Henninger

Weight: 215 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Round 7
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster
Physical Description: Ordinary build with average overall body strength. Fair muscular development. Limited growth potential, maybe some room to fill out in lower half.
Delivery & Mechanics: Semi-wind up; slight drop and drive. Low 3/4 arm slot with average arm speed and low effort in the delivery. Some deception with high leg kick and unconventional hand break which is hidden behind leg kick. Major claw behind back with pause at the bottom of the arm swing. Minimal extension with not much of a follow through. Low effort allows leads to fairly repeatable delivery.
Fastball: Sits 88-91 mph. Slight cutting action with good downward plane. Mistakes get hit due to lack of velocity but still manages to miss bats at a higher rate than expected due to deception. Sustains velocity late in games. Good control, around the zone frequently. Able to elevate allowing velo to play up. Shows ability to throw to all four quadrants although will lose command for spurts. Command and control are key for the pitch to be successful. Grade: 45
Curveball: Sits 72-74 mph. Big 11-5 break. Lacks sharp bite. Easy to see out of the hand. Around the zone frequently. Shows ability to keep hitters off balance but lacks swing and miss potential. Below-average command, backs up frequently. More of a get-me-over type pitch. Grade: 40
Slider: Sits 84-86 mph. Sharp, short tilt when on top, almost a cutter at times. Occasionally gets on side and flattens out. Comfortable throwing in all counts to both RHH and LHH. Freezes hitters and can get whiffs. Commands very well, consistently low in the zone. Potential out pitch. Grade: 55
Changeup: Sits 82-84 mph. Good arm side run with sinking action. Creates deception by keeping good arm speed. Shows feel for pitch, but uses infrequently. Work in progress with potential. Grade: 50
Control and Command: Around the zone frequently with a feel for all four pitches. Gets ahead of hitters often. Shows ability to command fastball to both sides of the plate, but needs to be more consistent. Keeps the ball down with SL well. Needs to improve command of CB, leaves over the plate too often. Needs to be fine to succeed. Control: 50 | Command: 40
Overall: Dunshee does not have a pitch that stands out, but shows great pitchability with his four-pitch mix. He shows the ability to use all four pitches in any count versus RHH or LHH, although the changeup is used sparingly. Without a true out pitch, Dunshee has to rely on deception and control to get outs. He has done a good job of that so far in his career, but is going to be hard to do on a consistent basis at the big league level with his current repertoire. He is likely suited for a spot starter role.
