Cutter Dykstra is an American baseball player who is currently a free agent. Since being released by the Harrisburg Senators in 2016, he hasn’t been able to find another team to defend. He was a promising talent when he was much younger, but lately he’s been struggling to land a job in Major League Baseball. One of the things that has slowed his baseball career is what most athletes’ careers are hindered by, injuries.
Injuries have really been a big hurdle in Cutter’s goal of achieving his dream of playing in MLB. With injuries curtailing his career, he’s also had plenty of inconsistent seasons. This kept him from realizing the initial potential he showed in high school that led to the Milwaukee Brewers drafting him as a teenager.
Cutter Dykstra was born on June 29, 1989 in Manhasset, New York. He was one of three children of retired baseball player Lenny Dykstra and his wife, Terri Dykstra.
Growing up, Dykstra and his brothers loved watching and playing baseball together. It’s no surprise, considering their dad was a pitcher at the time. This undoubtedly greatly influenced Cutter’s passion for the game and allowed him to fulfill his dream of getting into the big leagues like his father. Dykstra attended Westlake High School in Westlake Village, California. As he expected, he played baseball during his high school years and was one of the best on his school team.
During his senior year at Westlake High School, Cutter Dykstra had the opportunity to continue his education after high school and get a scholarship program to continue playing baseball or get drafted in high school and become a professional baseball player almost immediately. Dykstra chose the latter and was drafted in the 2nd round of the June 2008 MLB amateur draft by the Milwaukee Brewers.
So far he has played for the Potomac Nationals, Hagerstown Suns, Helena Brewers, AZL Brewers, Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, Syracuse Chiefs, Auburn Doubledays and Harrisburg Senators, all of which are minor leagues. Cutter plays as a fielder, second and third baseman. Additionally, Cutter hits and throws with his right hand.
Cutter Dykstra’s parents are Lenny Dykstra and Terri Dykstra. Her parents remained married from 1985 until Terri filed for divorce in 2009. Lenny Dykstra was born Leonard Kyle Dykstra on February 10, 1963 in Santa Ana, California. He was a professional baseball player. Unlike his son, Lenny hits and throws with his left and made his MLB debut on May 3, 1985, playing for the New York Mets.
He played for only two MLB teams, including NewYork Mets (1985-1989) and Philadelphia Phillies (1989-1996). His last game with the Phillies was with the Phillies on May 18, 1996. During his active years, Lenny was named to the All-Star Team three times in 1990, 1994 and 1995. He also led the Mets to winning the championship World Series in 1986.
Cutter Dykstra has two brothers, Luke and Gavin Dykstra. His younger brother, Luke Dykstra, was born on November 7, 1995. Luke is also a baseball player. He followed in the footsteps of his father and older sister. Luke was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 2014 MLB 7th Draft. He is currently plying his trade with the Sugarland Skeeters.
Cutter Dykstra is married to American actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler. The couple have been married since 2016. The actress is best recognized for her role on the HBO TV series The Soprano as Meadow Soprano. Dykstra’s first marriage was Sigler’s second.
Before meeting Dykstra, she was previously married to AJ Discala. Their marriage, however, being short-lived, they divorced in 2006, after only three years of marriage. Sigler and Cutter now have two children together; their first son, Beau Kyle Dykstra, was born on August 28, 2013, while the second, Jack Adam Dykstra, was born in January 2018.
