Andrew McCutchen led off the 2019 season in about as perfect of a fashion as possible, launching a 428-foot home run in his first at-bat as a Phillie. Will he top that in his first at-bat of 2020? Probably not, but as of now, McCutchen expects his first at-bat of his second season with the team to come on Opening Day.
Phillies position players aren’t due to report to Clearwater for Spring Training until Feb. 16, but McCutchen is already in town and attempting to be ready to play for the Phillies on March 26, when they open the season in Miami.
