No, really, everything.
Andrew McCutchen leads the Pirates in average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, home runs, runs batted in, runs scored, walks (tied with Neil Walker), doubles, triples and stolen bases.
Root Sports Pittsburgh points out that he?s the first player to lead a team in all of those categories this late into the season since the Astros? Jose Cruz in 1984.
With a .342/.397/.586 line, McCutchen currently ranks sixth in the NL in OPS. He?s a big reason the Pirates are just two games back of the Reds in the NL Central, and he?d have to be in the top five in NL MVP balloting at the moment. Personally, I?d probably put him third behind Joey Votto and R.A. Dickey.
There is one word of warning here, though: McCutchen also appeared to be in the midst of a breakthrough season at this time last year, only to disappoint in the second half. He?s performing better now than he was then, but he needs to keep it going for a full year to truly establish himself as a superstar.
