Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen capped off a record season on Tuesday by winning a Gold Glove, the first in his career and first by a Pirates player since Nate McLouth in 2008.
McCutchen led all National League outfielders in fielding percentage (.997) and finished the season with a 135-game errorless streak. He made one error in 371 chances, during an April 29 game at Atlanta.
"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 the seventh Pirates outfielder to win the award, joining Roberto Clemente (1961-72), Bill Vidron (1962), Dave Parker (1976-79), Andy Van Slyke (1988-1992), Barry Bonds (1990-92), and McLouth (2008).
McCutchen was perhaps the biggest reason why the Pirates were in first-place contention for most of the season, leading the Pirates with defense while putting up an MVP-caliber offensive season. McCutchen finished the season hitting .321, with 31 home runs, and 96 RBI.
