While Bryce Harper was undoubtedly the prize signing last offseason, the addition of Andrew McCutchen gave the Phillies a solid leadoff man and a reliable veteran manning left field. The days of being an MVP-caliber player are in McCutchen’s past, but a 25 home run season playing at Citizen’s Bank Park and stability at the top of the order was not out of the question for the 11-year veteran.
McCutchen started his 2019 campaign with a bang, launching a home run in his first at-bat. He helped the Phillies take down the Braves by a 10-4 score in the opener and homered again two games later.
