MLB.com, the official homepage of Major League Baseball, predicted a rebound of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
On the 20th (Korean time), MLB.com predicted the winning chances of the lowest-ranked teams in the six major league divisions. The media said, “The Boston Red Sox finished last in the American League East 10 years ago, but won the championship the following year in the 2013 season. There is hope that can happen to everyone. Being a last-place team means that there is only one thing left to do.” We analyzed the possibility of a rebound of the teams.
Last year, he recorded 62 wins and 100 losses. Regarding Pittsburgh, which was last in the National League Central District, the media predicted that it would achieve better results, saying, “We can continue a good atmosphere in the second half of 2023, when promising players stand out.”
In particular, it is analyzed that the addition of Andrew McCutchen will be a great help. The media predicted that the veteran McCutchen’s influence would be great, saying, “McCutchin is still a good hitter. Also, the psychological influence he will have on the team cannot be ignored.”
McCutchen was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates with the 11th overall pick in the 1st round of the 2005 draft. He made his big league debut four years later and stayed with Pittsburgh until 2017. McCutchen, who grew up as the league’s top outfielder, led Pittsburgh to the postseason in 20 years in the 2013 season. He also won the National League MVP. 바카라사이트
McCutchen was traded to the San Francisco Giants in 2018. He played for the New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillips and Milwaukee Brewers before returning to Pittsburgh this winter. It seems that it will serve as a mental support for Pittsburgh, which is lined with young players.

He made his major league debut in Pittsburgh in 2021, and hit 17 homers in the 2022 season, hinting at his growth potential. The media evaluated Cruise, saying, “Not all talents can be converted into success on the field, but Cruise has surreal talent.”
