This was my second look at RHP Caden Dockan this season, and it’s been impressive to see how well he’s settling into his role as one of Rancho Bernardo’s more reliable arms as a ‘26 arm. Dockan tossed 5 innings, allowing 6 hits, 3 earned runs, and recording 4 strikeouts. While the stat line may not jump off the page, watching him pitch told a much different story. Dockan consistently worked out of tough spots, often allowing early base runners only to strand them with composed, situational pitching. His ability to minimize damage and keep his team ahead in the game stood out, a key trait for a team like Rancho Bernardo that has the offensive firepower to back it up. Aside from a home run he gave up in the 5th, Dockan’s performance was steady and dependable, exactly what you want from a mid-rotation starter. His fastball sat 84–86 mph early, dropping to 83–84 later in the outing, and he leaned on it to generate weak contact throughout. Most of his outs came from inducing soft contact, showing that he knows how to pitch to contact effectively. The curveball, sitting 71–74 mph, flashed late break and could easily become his go-to “putaway” pitch as he continues to build strength and refine his arsenal. With a natural pronator’s feel for spin, I believe there’s real upside in how that breaking ball develops. Dockan continues to show maturity on the mound and is definitely trending upward as a dependable piece in Rancho Bernardo’s rotation with a now 2.62 ERA in the season.

Successful start for Dockan that helped lead the Broncos to an 8-2 victory. Building off his successful sophomore season last spring where he posted a 4-2 record with an 1.89 ERA in 44.1 innings, Caden began his junior campaign going 5.1 innings, with 4 hits, 2 runs allowed, and 4 strikeouts. The FB, which sat 85-87 mph, was working early where he picked up a strikeout with it in the first. Attacked it down in the zone but when he needed to, was able to go up with it to hitters who were in two strike holes. Docken also filled the zone with his two main secondaries. His CB was 72-73 mph which was a big drop in speed from the FB and it kept hitters out in front and chasing. His SL, which impressed me the most, was 79-80 mph and had tight horizontal break where he consistently attacked off the plate to RHHs to get numerous whiffs. He also mixed in a few changeups throughout his outing that had tumbling and fading action. Picked up one whiff with it early in his start. The 6-2 junior, committed to UC San Diego looked sharp and also did a great job limiting damage that helped the Broncos keep a comfortable lead when he exited the game in the 6th.

It feels like I’m caught in a time loop. Caden Dockan is another member of this 2026 class at Rancho Bernardo that saw significant and successful time in his sophomore season. Dockan pitched to a 1.89 ERA over 44.1 innings in 2024 and shortly after earned a UCSD commitment in the Fall. With velocities ticking up as he continues to grow, Dockan is an experienced force to be reckoned with for Coastal League opponents. When on, Dockan has a true three-pitch mix that is capable for strikes in any count; Dockan was on yesterday. He kept hitters off balance with a strong mix of his curveball and changeup. The fastball was spotted on the corners and up in the zone with the curveball and changeup tunneling out of the same slot. Dockan showed a near-complete ramp up look going five shutout innings on only 68 pitches. He struck out seven and only allowed five base runners (only one being a walk).
