Prep Baseball Wisconsin Pitcher of the Week: Owen Dobberstein

Pewaukee is off to a perfect start, going 8-0 through the first three weeks of the season, moving to the No. 6 team in our Power 25. RHP Owen Dobberstein (2025; Evangel) has operated as one of the aces the last two seasons, also one of the state’s top performers in that span. Dobberstein has already stacked multiple quality outings together, his most recent being the most impressive, tossing a five inning no-hitter, striking out 13 batters while walking the first batter of the game.

In a conference matchup against Greendale, the right-hander toed the rubber, striking out the first batter and walking the second batter of the game before inducing a double play to get out of the inning.

Dobberstein proceeded to strikeout the next 11 batters of the in a row, an error would allow another batter to reach base before picking up his 13th strikeout of the game to finish the fifth inning.

The Evangel commit is picking up where he left off after impressing in front of our staff earlier this spring. It’s a complimentary two-pitch mix that misses bats, across the outing Dobberstein picked up 16 swings and misses while only facing 16 batters. The fastball reaches 89 mph with carry, and holds velocity deeper into starts while locating to different spots in the zone. The slider is a swing and miss weapon, sitting in the upper-70s with sharp and tight action showing feel to locate throughout the zone with confidence.


Scouting Report

4/12/25

Evangel commit. Currently ranked No. 43 in the state. Athletic, well-proportioned 6-foot-2, 191-pound frame with some present strength throughout. Got the ball to start for the Pirates, and put together a strong showing. An uptempo mover down the mound with a short and quick arm action, paired with a ¾ release. Dobberstein filled the zone with both offerings and limited hard contact throughout his start. His fastball sat 86-88 mph (T89) with occasional carry through the zone, while going to a high-spin (2700+ rpm) breaking ball at 76-77 mph that played tight. Line: W, 4 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 0 R, 2 K. He also collected two hits at the plate.


We're thankful for the POTW submissions we received from the coaches across the state. The players who garnered POTW consideration will earn a place within tomorrow's Diamond Notes story, so be on the lookout for that.
