BPHS GRAD BECOMES STARTING PITCHER FOR THE CEDAR RAPIDS KERNELS
Last year, Randy Dobnak, a 2013 graduate of Bethel Park High School, played independent baseball in Utica, Michigan, for the United Shore Professional Baseball League( USPBL). Following a game where he pitched a complete shutout, he was offered a minor league contract with the Tennessee Twins. Dobnak pitched for the Twins for four weeks and was promoted to the Cedar Rapids Kernels, where he began the 2018 Minor League baseball season as a starting pitcher.
Dobnak is a 2018 graduate of Alderson Broaddus University with a double major in Accounting and Business Finance. He graduated with honors and made the President’ s List.
“ Randy has been great,” says Cedar Rapids manager Toby Gardenhire.“ He grabs the ball and goes out there and does whatever you want him to do. He works really hard every day, shows up ready to go. He’ s the epitome of the guy you want on your team.”
