Harry Rutkowski

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #348 prospect in 2020 draft
  Rutkowski is a gamer who isn’t afraid to throw strikes and challenge hitters despite not having great pure stuff. After struggling to a 4-6, 5.34 mark as a freshman at Rutgers, Rutkowski increased his hit rate, walks per nine, strikeout rate and earned run average as a sophomore. He made the Cape Cod League all-star team in 2019 after pitching to a 3-2, 2.38 mark with just five walks in 34 innings. He was off to his best start as a junior this season, posting a 1-2, 2.74 mark in four starts before the season ended. At 6-foot-2, 230 pounds, Rutkowski has a good frame, but there isn’t much projection left. There’s some variation on his fastball, but at its best it sits 90-92 mph from the left side. He has some spin on his breaking ball, but he primarily relies on his changeup to go along with his fastball, which has the potential to be solid-average. In a normal draft, Rutkowski would likely go in the 14-20 round range, but he should return to school for his senior season due to the shortened draft.
