On the way in 2017 — Pitcher R.J. Dabovich, from Pueblo (Colo.) West, and catcher Ross Cadena, from Southlake (Texas) Carroll, recently gave WSU’s baseball team non-binding commitments. They are both entering their junior years in high school and are WSU’s first commitments from the class of 2017.
Dabovich (6-foot-4, 195) said he also considered Arizona, Hawaii, Missouri and Kansas State. He said his fastball sits in the high 80s. He also throws a slider, curve and changeup.
“My main goal is to get developed and get better,” he said. “My best pitch is my four-seam fastball. Not many people catch up to it at my level. I hope to come to Wichita State sitting in the low 90s.”
Cadena (5-9, 190) said he likes the prospect of immediate playing time when he arrives in the fall of 2017 to prepare for the 2018 season. He also looks forward to working with assistant coach Brian Walker, who caught in college and the minor leagues.
With him being drafted, he would have a big role in me being a catcher and work with me every day,” Cadena said. “I like being involved in every pitch, every inning.”
Cadena said he also visited Arkansas, Texas A&M and TCU.
“I was just waiting to see what my gut told me to pick,” he said. “I chose Wichita State because when I met coach (Todd) Butler and (Walker) they were really nice guys and really cared about me. They’re the right guys and this is the right fit.”
