“There are bigger and faster center fielders, but few who can match Nate’s heart and hustle. His penchant for pilfering bases, making highlight-reel catches and delivering key hits earned him several Minor League MLB All-Star honors and, in 2005, his first extended Major League playing time. He became the full-time center fielder in August 2007 and finished with 22 steals in 23 attempts. McLouth enjoyed a breakout campaign last year as Pittsburgh’s seventh 20-20 man. He tied the National League lead with 46 doubles, earned an MLB All-Star Game invitation and led the squad with 26 homers and 94 RBI.“
