McCutchen Powers Pirates Past Reds with Solo Shot
by Jesse Garcia | Pirates Correspondent | Thu, Jun 27th 7:34am EDT
Andrew McCutchen went 1-for-5 in the Pirates' 6-1 victory over the Reds, delivering a key home run and driving in two runs.
Fantasy Impact:
While his batting average for the season remains modest at .238, this performance could hint at a potential uptick in his power numbers, as he notched his 11th homer of the season. McCutchen's ability to contribute valuable RBIs and runs scored (42 this season) keeps him relevant in fantasy formats, particularly in deeper leagues or those that value veteran presence. However, his high strikeout rate (.248) and relatively low walk rate (.114) suggest that expectations should be tempered regarding a significant batting average improvement.
