Scouting Report
From FSS:
A two-year star at Tallahassee CC, Dinges transferred into Florida State this year and has served as the teams primary DH for much of the season. It's power-over-hit with legitimate bat speed to all fields. Dinges has considerable strength in his hands and forearms and can muscle pitches off the plate into base hits. He's susceptible to the slider off the plate from a right-handed pitcher, though at this stage he's done a reasonable nice job fouling those pitches off and staying alive deeper into counts. The whole operation isn't too dissimilar from how Tyler O'Neill looks in the box, though admittedly considerably less refined. Dinges has the ceiling of a future fringe-average hitter with plus power that plays to all fields. Finding a defensive home will be a priority going forward. Dinges hasn't been able to secure many innings in the field, and he was labeled a below average defender in right field at TCC. He's done some catching in his collegiate career as well, and while he has a slow heartbeat behind the plate and isn't a jumpy receiver, his blocking and framing leaves something to be desired. Dinges does have an above average throwing arm.
