LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 National Showcase
Cutter Dykstra is a 2008 SS with a 6'0'', 180 lb. frame from Thousand Oaks, CA who attends Westlake HS. He has a strong, tightly wound body just like his father, Lenny Dykstra. Dykstra plays shorstop now but most will agree he projects as an offensive second baseman at the next level. He has the arm strength and release for that position and his range will be a plus. Dykstra's offense could be a big plus in the middle infield. He's a front foot hitter who commits very early and gets out to his front side, but his hand strength and hand quickness enables him to drive the ball hard and consistently. He makes hard contact and can drive the ball into the gaps. Dykstra is a 6.57 runner in the 60 and can really accelerate on the bases; it's easy to see him racking up big numbers on doubles and triples and in steals. As you would expect, Dykstra is a hard nosed player whose engine is running on high the whole time he's on the field. He is a good student who has a verbal to UCLA.
