Tough to see a guy like @TheCUTCH22 go. The dude is cooler than cool, and has that "wow" factor. Admired the way you went about your business bro, #'s 21 and 22 might be off limits for future Pirates!— Jameson Taillon (@JTaillon19) January 15, 2018

Determination and focus are the words that describe the admirable @TheCUTCH22 He‘s a Family and team-guy and really loves this game of baseball.
I had the honor to play with one of the best players I’ve ever seen in my life and the king of Pittsburgh.
