2023 Fantasy Outlook
McCutchen joined Milwaukee on a one-year, $8.5 million pact for 2022 and split time between designated hitter and the outfield. He played in 134 games and had a .237/.316/.384 slash line with 17 home runs, 69 RBI and eight stolen bases. His 98 wRC+ was the worst of his career, as was his .147 ISO. In recent years he's enjoyed most of his success against left-handed pitching, but that production fell off last season with a .738 OPS. McCutchen's decline will likely only continue as he enters his age-37 campaign, and barring a significant resurgence his days as a lineup regular are likely behind him. Read Past Outlooks

Returns to Pittsburgh
McCutchen signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Pirates on Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Well, isn't that fun? McCutchen reached superstardom in Pittsburgh, winning the National League MVP award in 2013 and finishing in the top five in voting four straight years. He's 36 now and coming off a career-low .700 OPS, but he nonetheless instantly becomes one of the Pirates' better hitters and provides some leadership. This should also offer him a chance to play every day, an opportunity he wouldn't necessarily have received elsewhere.

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.

Heading into his age-35 season, McCutchen's days as an above-average everyday outfielder may be over. After struggling to a barely above-average 102 wRC+ in 2020, he wasn't much better in 2021, as his .222/.334/.444 slash line was good for a 107 wRC+. That would have played fine when paired with the solid defense in center field that McCutchen provided early in his career, but it's not nearly good enough for a player who's now well below-average defensively in the outfield corners. That's not to say McCutchen is completely cooked, however, as his 27 homers in 2021 represented the third-best mark of his career, while his 14.1 BB% means he continued to get on base consistently even as his batting average declined. He continued to mash lefties, hitting .293/.405/.622 against them, but his anemic .186/.298/.352 line against righties may mean he fits best on the small side of a platoon going forward. McCutchen signed with the Brewers on a one-year deal and is expected to see most of his action at designated hitter.
