A week after he signed, Dabovich said he found himself on a Zoom call with director of pitching Brian Bannister and coordinator of pitching sciences Matt Daniels, who presented him with data and information that showed how they thought he could best optimize his arsenal moving forward.\n\n“All the smart people up there, they kind of sat me down and showed me a plan for how they want me to attack that \\[down\\] time,” Dabovich said. “We kind of figured out what we wanted my pitches to look like and how I can tunnel them and shape them. And then the people down there at Arizona PUSH Performance, the gym I work out at, we really hammered those cues and really developed. I took a huge stride in development and came in ready to pitch this year.”\n\nOne of the areas of focus for Dabovich was reshaping his breaking ball, which he calls a spike curveball, to better complement his mid-to-upper-90s fastball.\n\n“Basically, it was trying to throw my spike curve that I threw before a lot harder,” Dabovich said. “That was a big adjustment. In college, it was like 79-80 \\[mph\\]. I think the target for us was 84-86. That would be ideal. The weird thing is that metrically, on Rapsodo, it doesn’t look like that good of a pitch, but because of the way it’s thrown, the way they explained it to me is that it’s going to get a lot of swing-and-miss. And it definitely has, when I execute it.”","type":"markdown","__typename":"Markdown"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rj-dabovich-quickly-rising-through-giants-system\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.data":{"html":"
