Professional career

In 2019, he split time with Palm Beach (earning Florida State League All-Star honors), the Springfield Cardinals of the Class AA Texas League, and the Memphis Redbirds of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League; over 57 relief innings pitched between the three teams, he went 3–3 with a 2.84 ERA and 66 strikeouts.[13]

Dobzanski did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[14] On November 2, 2020, he elected free agency.
