Pitching:
Pitch selection: 1) fastball (low 90s), 2) curveball, 3) change, 4) knuckleball. Uses the knuckler as a rare off-speed pitch.

Came to the Angels in the Schoeneweis deal. Has torn through the minors with a 9.44 K/9 ratio. Needs to cut back on walks. Angels tinkered with using Dunn as a starter during a pitching crunch in Salt Lake, but he projects as a reliever. His age keeps him from being considered a grade-A prospect by many. Still, it's hard to argue with the numbers - he's the top relief prospect in the Angels' system.
Outlook:
Will start the season in AAA Salt Lake and should be the first call the Angels make if they're looking for help in the pen. ETA: Could see substantial Major League action in 2005.
