PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Pirates star Andrew McCutchen has hit thousands of baseballs in his career, but has noted a difference in it this season. McCutchen reacted to a video on Twitter, showing New York Mets right fielder Juan Soto just missing a home run at Citi Field and noted that the MLB may use 'deadballs.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen said via his X account that an MLB representative told him the baseballs being used this season are different due to higher seams, which are leading to more drag on the baseball (and less travel).

Andrew McCutchen will go down as one of the best Pittsburgh Pirates of all time. McCutchen has been a role model for years to come.
