Pete Crow-Armstrong is making a name for himself as one of the top hitters in baseball, and it’s not hard to see why. The Chicago Cubs’ young star has been on fire this season, leading his team with 11 home runs and 44 hits.
Key Factors Behind His Performance
According to scouts, Crow-Armstrong’s impressive performance can be attributed to his ability to barrel the ball, which enhances his power at the plate. This season, he has collected 10 doubles in just 124 at-bats against right-handed pitchers. While this may seem modest compared to last year’s total of 11 doubles against all pitchers, it highlights his growth as a hitter.
The Cubs’ offense is currently ranked second in scoring among all teams, largely due to Crow-Armstrong’s contributions. He has also played well alongside Kyle Tucker on Team USA during the WBC qualifying rounds, which helped reinforce his belief in his place in Major League Baseball.
Motivation and Growth
Crow-Armstrong credits Tucker for motivating him further by demonstrating what it takes to succeed at the highest level. The two players formed a bond during their time together on Team USA and have remained close ever since.
Despite being only 23 years old with less than 200 MLB games under his belt, Crow-Armstrong is considered one of the most promising young players in baseball today. Initially, scouts questioned whether he could develop enough power for an everyday role, but they are now reevaluating their assessments based on his recent performance.

"He showed us some things we hadn’t seen before," added another scout. "He started barreling balls more consistently."
