With his size, stuff and delivery, Dutkanych presents one of the top all-around starter profiles in the 2022 class. Projectable with present strength at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, Dutkanych surrendered two runs on four hits in four innings across two appearances, but showed the ability to establish and get outs with his fastball, which ranged from 93-96. Usually an out pitch, his slider wasn’t at its best in his first outing, making his work with the fastball all the more important.
