Dollander began to blossom as a Georgia high schooler in 2020, but the truncated season didn't give him enough time to impress scouts, so he went undrafted before heading to Georgia Southern. He stymied Tennessee with eight strikeouts in 5 2/3 one-run innings in his college debut -- then joined the Volunteers as a transfer for his sophomore season and won Southeastern Conference pitcher of the year honors in 2022. He entered 2023 as the clear top arm in the Draft and while his stuff remains top shelf, he hasn't been quite as sharp as he was last year.
Dollander's devastating arsenal begins with a 95-97 mph fastball that peaks at 99 and produces elite swing-and-miss rates with its combination of velocity and carry. His best secondary pitch is a tight slider that parks in the mid-80s and reaches 91 mph, and it can be a well-above-average offering with sweep at its best. He also has a bigger mid-70s curveball and a fading upper-80s changeup, both of which can be solid pitches but aren't as consistent as his primary weapons.
While Dollander continues to display frontline starter stuff, he's not locating it as well. He ranked seventh in NCAA Division I in K/BB ratio (8.3) as a sophomore while repeating his simple delivery with ease, but his control and command have been more average this spring. His athleticism helps him generate his premium pitches with little effort and he still has room to add more strength to his 6-foot-2 frame.

Dollander was under recruited as a Georgia high schooler, one who didn’t have enough time in the truncated 2020 season to impress big college recruiters, and he headed to Georgia Southern to begin his college career. He threw well enough as a freshman to transfer to Tennessee and was Southeastern Conference pitcher of the year as a sophomore in 2022. That set the stage for him to be considered the top pitcher in the Draft as the 2023 season approached, but inconsistent results knocked him from that perch. He didn’t fall too far, landing No. 9 overall and signing with the Rockies for full slot.
Dollander’s pure stuff was still pretty exciting during his junior season, with a fastball that averaged around 96 mph and touched 99, a heater with good carry that elicits a lot of swings-and-misses. His mid-80s tight slider can touch the low 90s and is often a plus pitch with sweep. He has a bigger mid-70s curve and an upper-80s changeup with fade, and both can be effective, even if they aren’t as reliable a go-to as the fastball-slider combination.
While Dollander didn’t walk a ton of guys as a junior, the command of his premium stuff, both in and out of the strike zone, regressed compared to his dominant sophomore campaign. He’s a good athlete on the mound and has shown the ability to repeat his delivery, with the hope that the Rockies can help him right the ship and use his frontline starter stuff more effectively as he embarks on his pro career.
