While McCutchen has played for the Phillies, San Francisco Giants, New York Yankees, and Milwaukee Brewers, the Pirates have been his most successful team.
McCutchen was selected 11th overall in the 2005 MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he spent the first nine seasons of his career, appearing in six All-Star Games.
After a five-year absence, McCutchen will return to the Pirates on a one-year contract in 2023. He slashed in 112 games and was quite productive.With 12 home runs, 43 RBIs, 75 walks, and a.776 OPS, he hit 256/.378/.397.
The 37-year-old will rejoin the Pirates with 299 career home runs, which ranks him 12th among active players. If 2024 is McCutchen’s final season, hitting his 300th career home run in a Pirates uniform should be a memorable moment for him.
