Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
McCutchen re-signed with the Pirates on a modest one-year deal and projects to slot into the DH role in 2025. His 105 wRC+ from 2024 indicates that he's still performing at a high level even entering his age-38 season, yet signs of decline are still apparent. A primary concern is bat speed. The most straightforward illustration of that is his strikeout rate jumped to a career-worst 25.8 percent, with his in-zone contact correspondingly tumbling to 80.2 percent. Put another way, his success against fastballs decreased significantly as he posted just a .359 xwOBA against the pitch, with 2022 being the only lower mark of his career. The other major drawback is that McCutchen will only be eligible at utility for fantasy purposes after starting only five games in right field in 2024. Despite those negatives, McCutchen still has a few things going for him. His role in Pittsburgh should be safe after another quiet offseason for the team, and he still gets on base in roughly one-third of his plate appearances. Projecting 15 home runs with a .330 on-base percentage and 110 runs + RBI seems to be a fair baseline expectation, giving McCutchen limited appeal in deeper mixed as well as NL-only formats.

Knocks in two-run single
McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a two-run single and a run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Mets.
ANALYSIS
McCutchen played a key role in the Pirates' six-run eighth inning, when he drove in a two-run single before coming around to score on a Bryan Reynolds two-run double. McCutchen has reached base safely in nine of his last 11 starts, and over that span he has gone 14-for-47 (.298) with two home runs and five RBI.

Stat Review
How does Andrew McCutchen compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

McCutchen looked rejuvenated early on in his return to Pittsburgh, posting an .823 OPS with eight homers and six steals through the end of May. An elbow injury sent him to the injured list and McCutchen's season ultimately ended in early September due to a partial tear of his left Achilles' tendon. The 37-year-old was in a walking boot for six weeks but the Pirates were happy enough with the reunion and confident enough in his health to bring him back for 2024. A former NL MVP, McCutchen's last All-Star appearance came back in 2015, though the skills have held up OK around the injuries. His strikeout rate still has never exceeded 23 percent and he walked at a 15.9 percent clip last season, the second-highest mark of his career. Unfortunately for those playing fantasy baseball, McCutchen is now UT-only, having made just eight appearances in the outfield last season. He's very much relevant but tougher to roster at this stage of his career given the missed time and lack of positional eligibility.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Won't be available via trade
McCutchen won't be available via trade this season, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The veteran outfielder has repeatedly stated since his return to Pittsburgh a few years ago that he has no desire to play elsewhere, and the Pirates aren't expected to entertain offers for him. It seems McCutchen and Paul Skenes are the only players the Pirates won't listen to offers for as the deadline looms.
