Andrew McCutchen Joins Elite Company with 2,000th Career Hit for Pirates
Andrew McCutchen, veteran outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates, achieved his 2,000th career hit during a game against the New York Mets. McCutchen has 1,515 hits as a Pirate, ranking 12th in franchise history. Despite not achieving much during the Pirates' 2013-15 playoff runs, McCutchen's impact on the team's fortunes and his decision to return as a free agent this year solidifies his place among the all-time greats in Pirates history. Currently, McCutchen is praised for his role as a leadoff hitter and his veteran savvy at the plate.
