Bryan John Dobzanski (born August 31, 1995) is an American baseball pitcher who is a free agent.

Amateur career[edit]

Dobzanski attended Delsea Regional High School in Franklinville, New Jersey, where he played baseball and wrestled.[1] As a wrestler, he won two state titles and compiled a record of 155-8 for his high school career.[2] In 2014, his senior year, he went 3–0 with a 0.91 ERA and 68 strikeouts over 46 innings.[3]

Professional career[edit]

Dobzanski was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 29th round of the 2014 Major League Baseball draft.[4][5] He signed with the Cardinals, forgoing his commitment to play college baseball at the University of Louisville.[6][7] He made his professional debut that year with the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Cardinals, going 2–1 with a 2.67 ERA over 27 innings.[8] In 2015, he pitched for the Johnson City Cardinals of the Rookie-level Appalachian League, compiling a 1–1 record and a 3.94 ERA over 16 innings, and in 2016, he played with the State College Spikes of the Class A Short Season New York–Penn League, going 4–6 with a 3.93 ERA over 14 games (13 starts), striking out 37 batters over 71 innings.[9] In 2017, he spent the season with the Peoria Chiefs of the Class A Midwest League, going 2–5 with a 3.70 ERA over 31 games (12 starts); he was moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen midway through the year.[10] He began the 2018 season back with Peoria (with whom he was named an All-Star) before being promoted to the Palm Beach Cardinals of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League in July.[11][12] Over 42 relief appearances between the two clubs, he compiled an 8–4 record with a 2.41 ERA. In 2019, he split time with Palm Beach (earning Florida State League All-Star honors), the Springfield Cardinals of the Class AA Texas League, and the Memphis Redbirds of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League; over 57 relief innings pitched between the three teams, he went 3–3 with a 2.84 ERA and 66 strikeouts.[13]

Dobzanski did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[14] On November 2, 2020, he elected free agency. On January 12, 2021, he signed a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals organization.[15] For the 2021 season, he was assigned to the Harrisburg Senators of the Double-A Northeast with whom he went 1-1 with a 3.47 ERA and 46 strikeouts over 46+2⁄3 innings.[16] He elected free agency on November 7, 2021.
