Andrew McCutchen is in a different uniform this season, and it’ll look a little bit weird, for sure.<\/p>\n

The Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> legend now plays for the Texas Rangers<\/a>. He’s hoping to prove that he’s still got some juice left in the tank.<\/p>\n

After a strong Spring Training, there’s certainly reason to believe that McCutchen really does have some hits left in that bat.<\/p>\n

He’s also going to have a new jersey number. Classically, McCutchen wore the number 22 with the Pirates.<\/p>\n

With the Rangers, he’s going to wear the number 4.<\/p>\n

Here’s the whole list:<\/p>\n

Robbie Grossman (2023-2024)<\/p>\n

Freddy Guzm\u00e1n (2006-2007)<\/p>\n

Donnie Sadler (2002-2003)<\/p>\n

Scott Sheldon (1998-2001)<\/p>\n

Fernando Tat\u00eds (1997-1998)<\/p>\n

Nelson Norman (1978-1981)<\/p>\n

Larry Biittner (1970-1973)<\/p>\n

Danny O’Connell (1961-1962)<\/p>\n

Not a lot of difference makers on that list, really, but some fun names from Rangers franchise history.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, McCutchen takes 4 from Joc Pederson as he pretty much takes over the same DH role for this season.<\/p>\n
