Pete Crow-Armstrong is drawing renewed attention after going 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and four RBIs in the Cubs’ 7-6 win over the Dodgers on Aug. 5. The victory completed a Chicago sweep at Wrigley Field. ⚾
His second homer was his 26th of the season, and AP coverage described his performance as part of a two-player National League MVP race with Shohei Ohtani. 🏆
The Cubs center fielder’s offensive leap has coincided with improved plate discipline: his walk rate rose from 4.5% in 2025 to 11.2% in 2026, while his chase rate fell by more than six percentage points.
Crow-Armstrong, a second straight All-Star, already paired speed and defense with power in 2025, when he hit 31 homers, stole 35 bases and won his first Gold Glove. He also recorded 19 five-star catches, a Statcast-era single-season record. 🧤
Chicago committed to him in March with a six-year, $115 million extension through 2032, including two bought-out free-agent years.
