Twins Video
A 6'6" junior, Jason Doktorczyk is an imposing presence on the mound. The big right-handed pitcher is a name to watch as he progresses through the Twins system, after he put up some impressive numbers with the Wolfpack. After transferring from Sonoma State, Doktorczyk started during his two seasons with Nevada. Last year, he owned a 3.95 ERA across 84 1/3 innings, while striking out 91 batters.
Doktorczyk has been tested at some of the highest levels of amateur baseball, as well. He pitched just shy of 30 innings in the Cape Cod League, and racked up strikeouts in bunches there as well. Named to the All-Mountain West First Team this past season, Doktorczyk has continued to make his name known.
Prior to him getting started with the Twins, I caught up with him to introduce Doktorczyk to Twins Territory.
JD: The biggest tweak that helped me increase my numbers this year was shifting to the third-base side of the rubber. It brought out a funky release angle, to go with my competitive gameplay.
JD: I am a competitor who will pound the zone with authority. I have a lot of run on my fastball, which is my favorite pitch to throw in all counts. Over the past couple years, I have worked a lot on my changeup and sweeping slider and have developed a good pitch overlay, which gives me confidence to throw either in any count.
JD: I grew up an Angels fan, living 20 minutes from the stadium, so when I was younger, I looked up to guys like Jered Weaver and Ervin Santana. Now, I try to model my mound presence after Max Scherzer and pitch with some fire.
JD: My pitching coach at the University of Nevada, Mark Moriarty, is the former pitching coach of the Cedar Rapids Kernels. So for the past couple years, I have been exposed to a lot of workouts and training practices that are used within the organization. I have learned a lot of new things about the game and about myself being under this coaching for the past couple years, and I expect it to only help my progress in the Twins organization.
JD: The biggest thing that I’m looking forward to in pro ball is continuously getting better everyday, while being surrounded by great talent from all around the world and playing the game I love.
