half-hour in the past
PITTSBURGH — There was a time when Andrew McCutchen believed that this present day was an inevitability, that 2,000 profession hits was a stepping stone on the trail to one thing better.
“When I first came up, you’re so oblivious and naïve,” McCutchen advised MLB.com. “In my mind, I felt like I could get 3,000 hits if I played long enough at a high level and did well and [was] not hurt. All things considered, I felt like I could get 3,000 hits.”
In time, nonetheless, McCutchen started doing the maths. Even with the All-Star appearances, even with the Silver Sluggers, even with the MVP, McCutchen got here to phrases with the truth that, in all probability, he wouldn’t be a part of the three,000-hit membership.
“That was the first thing as far as [accolades] that I was like, ‘Nah, never mind, I’m probably not going to get that,’” McCutchen mentioned. “It took me a handful of years to really be honest with myself to where it was like, ‘That ain’t gonna happen unless I play in my 40s.’ So yeah, I thought I was going to hit 2,000, because I thought I was going to hit 3,000. You’re young. You’re naïve. You’re maybe a little overconfident in yourself. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
The 2,000-hit membership, nonetheless, nonetheless has a pleasant ring to it.
With a single within the first inning off the Mets’ Carlos Carrasco, McCutchen collected the two,000th hit of his Major League profession, turning into the 291st participant in MLB historical past to affix the membership, per Elias. He is the fifth energetic participant to succeed in 2,000 hits, alongside Miguel Cabrera, Nelson Cruz, Joey Votto and Elvis Andrus.
It was a little bit of a full-circle second for McCutchen. On June 4, 2009, he recorded the primary hit of his profession whereas batting leadoff in opposition to the Mets at PNC Park. A decade and alter later, McCutchen achieved the milestone whereas batting leadoff in opposition to the Mets at PNC Park.
Once McCutchen’s line drive to left subject discovered grass, the Sunday afternoon crowd offered him with a standing ovation as he tipped his helmet. Home-plate umpire Dan Merzel didn’t rush the next hitter, Bryan Reynolds, into the batter’s field, permitting McCutchen the chance to totally benefit from the second.
