ollowing a career year in 2014, Pittsburgh center fielder Andrew McCutchen has his
sights set on steering the Pirate ship back to the playoffs and beyond.
Whether he wants to admit it or not, Andrew McCutchen is the face of the Pittsburgh
Pirates franchise. In 2014, the Pirate center fielder
enjoyed a career year that vaulted him into the
discussion for a back-to-back National League
MVP. He is considered one of the best all-around
players in the game today.
Baseball is being revived in the Steel City, but McCutchen refuses to talk ‘me’ it’s all about the team.
“I’ve always been the type of player that just tries
to do what he can to help the ball club win and
get better,” McCutchen said. “It takes more than
one person to turn a ball club around. It takes a
whole team, coaching staff, trainers, all of that.…
It’s great being able to see this place filled and fans
excited about what we’re doing. We just have to
keep going.”
Our Junior Reporter Haley Smilow had the
chance to site down and put Andrew on the hot
seat.
