Chad
Dallas

Transferring to the Volunteers after just one season at a Texas junior college, Dallas went 3-0 with a 2.53 ERA in four starts last season. At 5-foot-11, 210 pounds he’s a thick bodied righty with a big chest and shoulders. Relying on huge competitiveness as one of his main weapons, another top strength is his above average 78-81 mph slider. He can carve with this pitch, either expanding to his gloveside or burying for a chase pitch, while showing the most depth at the lower end of his velo band. Dallas also featured an 89-91 mph fastball (was more 90-94 last spring) and usable low-80s changeup thrown with fair arm speed. He should once again anchor the middle of the Tennessee rotation, but could likely instead pitch multiple times out of the pen over a weekend, if needed.
