The 26-year-old McCutchen, who finished the season with a 135-game errorless streak, led all National League
outfielders in fielding percentage (.997), making just one error (a throwing miscue on April 29 at Atlanta) in 371
total chances. He ranked second among all N.L. outfielders, and led center fielders, in starts (156) and innings
played (1364.0) while ranking third in total chances.
"It's a tremendous honor to win an award like this," said McCutchen. "To look and see your name with guys
like Roberto Clemente, Andy Van Slyke and Bill Mazeroski, it's pretty special."
McCutchen is Pittsburgh’s first everyday center fielder to receive a Gold Glove award since Nate McLouth in 2008
and the seventh outfielder overall, joining Roberto Clemente (1961-1972), Bill Virdon (1962), Dave Parker (1977-
79), Andy Van Slyke (1988-1992), Barry Bonds (1990-92) and McLouth.
McCutchen beat out the Atlanta Braves' Michael Bourn and the Cincinnati Reds' Drew Stubbs, the other two finalists.
