While he had a brief hiatus in the middle of his career, Andrew McCutchen has been one of the lone bright spots for the Pittsburgh Pirates over the years. McCutchen was not only here in 2015 when the Pirates last tasted October action, but was one of the most dynamic players in the game.
McCutchen's 2013 NL MVP win was the catalyst that set an albeit brief run of greatness in motion for Pittsburgh, breaking up the bleakness that began in 1993 and returned in 2016. In the mid-2010s, there was perhaps no better example of a five-tool player in the league than Cutch.
