Jacob Connor Dahlstrand (born March 26, 1992) is a starting pitcher who is a free agent. Listed at 6' 5", 205 lb., he bats and throws right handed.[1]
The Boston Red Sox selected Dahlstrand in the 10th round of the 2010 MLB Draft out of Memorial High School in Houston, Texas, where he posted a 7-2 record with a 3.83 earned run average in his senior season. He had committed to the University of Houston, but decided to turn professional instead.[2]
Dahlstrand has a three-pitch repertoire that includes a 90-96 mph fastball, which he complements with a slider and a changeup.[3] He moved slowly through the system, but broke through in 2014 with a combined 8-5 record and a 2.90 ERA in 28 games for Low-A Greenville Drive and High-A Salem Red Sox, which included six starts.[1] He pitched almost exclusively out of the bullpen in Greenville before moving up to the next level, where the Red Sox stretched him out in the rotation.[1]
In 2015 Opening Day, Dahlstrand came out firing for Salem with six no-hit innings in his season debut that became a rain-shortened no-hitter.[4] Overall, Dahlstrand went 3-0 with a 1.96 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in four starts for Salem but then injured his elbow and eventually had Tommy John surgery, missing the rest of the season.[3]
After a long rehabilitation, Dahlstrand returned in June 2016 at rookie class GCL Red Sox. He made two starts there and two with the Lowell Spinners before joining Double-A Portland Sea Dogs on July 14. He posted an overall record of 3-4 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in eight starts, striking out 24 while walking 12 in 40 innings of work. In 2017, Portland began using him strictly as a reliever and he appeared in a career-high 29 games, going 5-4 with 38 strikeouts in 77 innings.[1]
