Why Andrew McCutchen Should Be a Hall of Famer

Creator: Mike

Andrew McCutchen is one of the most beloved players of his generation, but he's not quite receiving Hall of Fame buzz as his career winds down. Yet...we really should start having this conversation.

I'm a massive Joe Mauer fan and thought he'd make the Hall eventually, but I think the character clause might be why he ended up a first ballot Hall of Famer. That gives me some hope for Cutch.

You did him justice. Thanks for putting this out

Barry Bonds having 50 WAR with the pirates is insane - the man had 2 hall of fame careers. Barry is the biggest snub - take away 20% of all his stats to account for the roids and he’s still an absolute lock.

Perfect usage of Here We Go - Mac Miller instrumental as the background audio. 2 iconic Pittsburgh legends

Cutch is the only thing Pirates fans have had to smile about in a time. Love the guy he should be in the HOF based on vibes alone

Quick note on the furry ordeal. During last season’s furry convention games a furry was on the big screen before his AB. The furry was on the gateway clipper (a boat ride known by people in Pittsburgh). Yes he did in fact hit a HR

[manzoman]

Phillies fan here, was thrilled to have him make a stop here during his great (and still ongoing) career! And glad he got to go back to Pittsburgh.

i met him when he was on the indianapolis indians and he is one of the best people ive ever seen. he even played catch with my father and i after the game while we were sitting in the grass (off the field not on) in the outfield after the game. got a signed jersey that im not selling until i die. one of the best people in baseball.

Cutch should 100 percent be in the hall. He is really, truly, a good person, and an amazing ball player. He has better stats than some HOFers and he is not done yet. He still has a chance for 300 home runs. He is a legend and deserves a plaque for sure.

[seanstrain]

Cutch has always been my favorite player. He's an absolute Pirates legend. I'd love to see him get in. Thanks for the video!

Instrumentals off of Faces by Mac Miller in the background is a nice touch

Nice touch with the mac miller in the background

I love the Mac Miller tracks in the back. Cutch is one of my fav players of all time, especially among favorite Andrews of all time lol. Hope he winds up in the hall one day

You don't have to convince me. I am not a Pirates fan, but I have followed his career. When his time to be in the HOF comes, send an updated version of this to all the sportswriters. And I agree, the good guys should get some consideration too. When you are on that fine line, that should be something that tips them over into the HOF.

I don't know. If McCutchen gets in I think it will primarily be on the back of being VERY well liked. He has an MVP and some outstanding seasons but he's also had large portions of his career as a veteran roll player. Its been the better part of a decade since any pitcher went in circling his name on the lineup card. I feel like he's the kind of guy who's JUST outside the hall. Someone who stays on the ballot all 10 years, maybe gets 50% of the votes at best but doesn't quite make it. Unless of course he has a freak resurgence. Maybe he says "its my last year, I don't need to be in playing shape after this. Im just going to lay it all out." and gets MVP votes one more time.

[QuietNacho]

Preface: I agree. But, if Cutch is in, then Posey, Lofton, Utley, Hunter and Bernie Williams should all be in….

Winners, dominated entire era’s at their positions… they should all be in. I don’t see the voters going this way. That’s a big problem.

[gavinsheridan]

Not disagreeing with your take, but Cutch currently ranks no higher than 3rd on a list of Pirates who should be inducted behind Parker & Oliver.

[Isaiah-x]

My barber is the one who cut his dreads off. He told me that Cutch, to this day, is the nicest client he’s ever had.

[pittsburghbob]

The fact that the Pirates got Bryan Reynolds in return when they traded Cutch should add the his credentials.

Cutch essentially brought baseball back to Pittsburgh after some bad, bad years. He had a peak where he was truly one of the 5 best players in all of baseball. What he’s also meant to Pittsburgh and really baseball in general, off the field will also back up a HOF career
