Crow-Armstrong Shatters Cubs Records | Chicago Cubs News

Pete Crow-Armstrong just rewrote Cubs history, becoming the first player in franchise lore to hit 25 homers and swipe 25 bases in back-to-back seasons—his breakout performance against the Dodgers included two homers, four RBIs, and a clutch first-inning blast that helped seal a series sweep. Five years after being traded from the Mets (along with Javier Baez), the 24-year-old outfielder is crushing it this year: .288 AVG, 26 homers, 69 RBIs, 28 steals, and 60 walks. His lefty-hitting surge? Even more impressive—he’s hitting better vs. southpaws than ever before, including a homer off one on Wednesday. The Cubs? They’re riding high at 66-49, locked in first place in the NL wild-card race, and Crow-Armstrong’s rise has turned him into an MVP frontrunner—and a key reason why Chicago’s climbing fast.
