Andrew McCutchen shines in narrow Pirates victory
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, May 12th 8:47am EDT
Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-4 in the Pirates' 10-9 win over the Cubs with a home run, two runs scored, one RBI, a walk, and a strikeout.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance might offer a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who have been enduring McCutchen's underwhelming .187 batting average this season. His power stroke, evidenced by his fourth homer of the year, still flashes occasionally, suggesting he can contribute in power categories. However, his high strikeout rate and low BABIP indicate potential ongoing challenges in batting average. Managers should consider McCutchen a risky play, best suited for deeper leagues where occasional power outbursts justify his lineup spot.
