Randy Scott Kutcher (born April 20, 1960) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder and utility infielder. He played for the San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox from 1986 through 1990.
Kutcher was born in Anchorage, Alaska[1] and attended Palmdale High School in Palmdale, California, where he also played football and basketball. The Giants drafted him in the fourth round of the 1979 MLB draft.[2] He was a member of two division-winning teams in his three seasons with the Red Sox, in 1988 and 1990, when he and Kevin Romine split duties as reserve outfielders for the Red Sox behind All-Star starters Mike Greenwell, Ellis Burks and Dwight Evans. Kutcher wore jersey number 5 in 1988, later switching to 55.[3]
In 1995, he was a replacement player in spring training for the New York Yankees during the ongoing strike.[4][5]
In 448 career at bats, Kutcher was a .228 hitter with 10 home runs and 40 runs batted in.
