Bio

Dorsett played eight Major League seasons for the New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, and Cubs. The former catcher and first baseman recorded career highs in all statistical categories in 1994 while playing for the Reds. A native of Terre Haute, Ind., Dorsett was a tenth-round selection of the Oakland Athletics in the 1983 MLB Amateur Draft after a college career at Indiana State University. Dorsett played during the League’s CICL, returned to coach REX Baseball, and is currently a part-owner of the team.

“It is an honor to be inducted into the Prospect League’s Hall of Fame,” said Dorsett. “I really enjoyed my time in the league, both as a player and as a head coach. Baseball will always be a part of my life and I am blessed to be honored by the Prospect League.”
