Andrew McCutchen is in a different uniform this season, and it'll look a little bit weird, for sure.

The Pittsburgh Pirates legend now plays for the Texas Rangers. He's hoping to prove that he's still got some juice left in the tank.

After a strong Spring Training, there's certainly reason to believe that McCutchen really does have some hits left in that bat.

He's also going to have a new jersey number. Classically, McCutchen wore the number 22 with the Pirates.

With the Rangers, he's going to wear the number 4.

Interestingly, McCutchen takes 4 from Joc Pederson as he pretty much takes over the same DH role for this season.
