High-OBP, high-speed spark now in Air Force’s mix
Rutledge brings a real table-setter profile: in 2025 at Alabama A&M, he hit .397 with a nation-leading .573 on-base percentage and went 34-for-37 on stolen bases, so he can impact games without needing power to show up. His differentiators are plate discipline, baserunning pressure, and a proven history of producing across multiple stops, including strong SIAC seasons before his jump to Division I. He looks like a fit for a team that values athleticism, contact, and run creation over pure velocity hype.
