2026 MSBL League Profile: DCMSBL, John Kutcher League President

By Steve LaMontia-Carlentini, MSBL Director of Communications

As we share our continued MSBL League Spotlight series with the DCMSBL, led by League President John Kutcher, I must admit something.  There is nothing that I, Dan Rather, or Bob Woodward could present any better than John and his wife Sue have provided for us.  Their descriptions of timelines and events that have impacted their lives, including links to further illustrate John’s journey, are unparalleled.  I could not have done this outline any justice.  I admit it.  It pleaded to be merely forwarded in its original context.

So, to that point, I will lead with a short opening excerpt below from their provided story, and instruct you to please click on the picture of John (above) to be directed to a wonderful PDF experience of John’s data and wonderful pictures.

I will close by saying that the DCMSBL is in very capable hands and will further thrive because of it.  Enjoy the journey!

John Kutcher’s life in baseball has unfolded slowly and organically — one season at a time.

He began like so many others, at nine years old, in local recreation leagues. He was not a prodigy. He was not the kid everyone predicted would still be playing decades later. He simply loved the game. And that love proved durable.

As he matured, the game matured with him. He competed in the Maryland Semi-Pro Baseball League, sharpening his skills against stronger competition. In the early adult years, he stayed engaged after many peers had stepped away.

Over time, those adult baseball circles evolved into what became the Harford County Adult Baseball League. John eventually ran that league for many years. It was not glamorous work. It was scheduling, field coordination, manager conversations, weather issues, roster questions, and the thousand small responsibilities that keep adult baseball alive.

Then another chapter opened.
