Andrew McCutchen found a batting practice pitcher thanks to a Twitter advertisement

One of the understated challenges for players trying to work on their games during the offseason is that most baseball activities -- especially fielding and hitting -- require a partner. On Friday, Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen found himself wanting to get some swings in. Just one problem: He didn't have anyone to pitch.

Any High School coach in the Cranberry/Wexford,PA. Area want to throw a good ole pal(me) some BP today? #SeriousQuestion

With a high of 52 degrees in Wexford, Penn, it was a beautiful day to join the former National League MVP for some batting practice. Clearly, many in the northern suburbs of Pittsburgh agreed, as Cutch quickly found a suitable partner:

He revealed the lucky winner later in the day:

McCutchen was traded to the Giants nearly two weeks ago, but the former Pirate clearly hasn't relocated from Western Pennsylvania. Now that he's found someone to throw batting practice, maybe he'll feel comfortable staying in the Pittsburgh area a little bit longer.
