Andrew McCutchen has the MVP.

Gregory Polanco has the buzz.

Pedro Alvarez has the power.

But Josh Harrison has been the best Pittsburgh Pirate player for the past six weeks, adored by fans, gritty and hard-nosed and the glue that has held this club together — and no one has noticed.

He is like the Rodney Dangerfield of baseball.

He gets no respect.

“Utility player” is often attached to his name. But he has shown during the last month that he is more than just a stop-gap, part-time performer.

Whether it has been in right field or at second base, Harrison has played nearly flawlessly on defense.

In right field, he has been downright spectacular at times.

At the plate, Harrison has come into his own.

In May, he batted .356. Through Tuesday, he was hitting an even .400 in the month of June.

When the Pirates needed a spark, Harrison provided it.

Harrison is just 26 and this has been his first real stretch of playing every day in the major leagues.

Last year, it seemed he was constantly on a plane from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis and vice versa.

This year, Harrison is here to stay.

But where will he play?

When Neil Walker comes back from his appendectomy, Harrison may be a player without a position.

It’s unlikely that the Bucs will send down Polanco, who has hit at the major league level just as well as he has hit at Triple-A.

Plus, Pirate fans may just mutiny if Polanco is demoted.

Harrison has versatility going for him. He has played at least 25 games at right field, second base, third base and shortstop in his short career.

Harrison could get some at-bats at shortstop where Jordy Mercer and Clint Barmes haven’t exactly been the second coming of Honus Wagner.

He could also see some time at third to spell Alvarez against left-handers.

Harrison could play virtually every day but may have to play a different position each day to do it.

That would not be ideal for most players. Most baseball players are creatures of habit. They show up at the park at the same time every day. They field ground balls at the same position every day. Even the slightest wrench in their routine could send them into a slump.

Harrison, though, seems to be immune to such hang-ups. He may be able to swing showing up to the ballpark not knowing where he’s playing.

The real question is can he pitch?

That certainly would add to his legend should he toss six shutout innings, go 2-for-3 with a triple, single and a stolen base as well as play great defensively on the mound.

Hey, crazier things have happed — like Harrison hitting .400 in June.

Put nothing past J-Hay.
