Early life

High school

Dopirak attended Dunedin High School. He was originally selected by Chicago Cubs in the second round (56th overall) of the 2002 Major League Baseball draft.

Professional career

Chicago Cubs

Dopirak spent 2002, his first professional season, with the Arizona League Cubs batting .253 with no home runs and 6 runs. In 2003, Dopirak played for the Boise Hawks of the Northwest League, one of the Cubs Class-A level teams batting .240 while clubbing 13 home runs and 37 runs batted in. He was then promoted to another Class-A team the Lansing Lugnuts of Midwest League, concluding the 2003 hitting another 2 more home runs. In 2004, he hit 39 homers and 120 RBIs with Lansing to go along with a .307 batting average.

After the 2004 season, Dopirak experienced injury problems. He hit below .300 and compiled only 35 home runs from 2005 to 2007. The Cubs designated Dopirak for assignment, culminating in his release following the 2007 season.
