Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates

Andrew McCutchen legs out an infield single during an October 12 Arizona Fall League game between the Phoenix Desert Dogs and the Scottsdale Scorpions. The center fielder was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first round (11th overall pick) of the 2005 First-Year Player Draft out of Fort Meade High School in Florida. McCutchen hit .258/.327/.383 with 10 home runs, 48 RBI and 17 stolen bases for Double-A Altoona of the Eastern League in 2007. He was later promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis of the International League where he batted .313 in 67 at-bats and swiped four bags.

Forgive my ignorance, but the name on his jersey isn't "Desert Dogs" or "Scorpions". Why is this?

In the AFL, the players wear their parent club's uniform like the MLB All-Star Game.

However, all players wear the hats and helmets of their AFL club. That's how you recognize what AFL team they play for.

@HKuspDADDY  He's on pace this season for being a 20-40 with a .300+ average. Predicting stats must not be your thing dumbass.

[theultimatepimp45]

he'll be traded in 2 years 4 scrubs to be named later.

[Cgolfsoccerguy]

He is going to be a star though we can all agree on that.

[HKuspDADDY]

hahahahahahahahaha hes so fast when he JOGS around the bases it tries to fall off and he has to hold it on. give me a fucking break. my facts are strait he will never be anything more than a 20-30 man AT BEST

[Cgolfsoccerguy]

Get your facts straight HKuspDADDY. Cutch had 3 hrs and the reason his helmet falls off because it is a lighter model of an air flow. It isn't meant to withhold that amount of air resistance against it which proves this talent is fast.

Wow.. two years ago when he was a minor leaguer i was in left field standing up screaming at him at a mudhens game.. we were all bickerin at him and he kept yelling back saying.. "Ima be a Big soon" we all just laughed. But hes decent now on Pitt.

[Maxnned]
