Breaking News: No more Stress, Pete Crow-Armstrong Announces Depart from Chicago…read more
Keeps rolling MondayCrow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Monday’s 9-2 win over the Athletics.
Impact Crow-Armstrong extended his hitting streak to three games, and over his last 20 contests, the youngster is batting .319 with
three home runs, 15 RBI and 18 runs scored. Crow-Armstrong is proving to be a dynamic offensive player with plenty of fantasy utility in his first full MLB season.
Impact Crow-Armstrong has now gone deep in consecutive games and he has seven home runs in 39 contests since the start of August.
By comparison, the young outfielder had just three long balls in 71 games through the end of July. Crow-Armstrong seems to be
figuring out his swing at the MLB level and should continue to see regular playing time for the Cubs due to his unique combo of power and speed.
Homer, steal in extra-inning lossCrow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Saturday’s 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Rockies.
Impact The steal was Crow-Armstrong’s first since he swiped three bags versus the Pirates on Aug. 26. The outfielder has put together
a decent September so far, going 12-for-41 (.293) with three extra-base hits over 12 contests, though he also has 16 strikeouts in that
span. For the year, he’s at a .238/.289/396 slash line with nine homers, 27 thefts, 44 RBI and 39 runs scored over 109 games.
Impact At the end of July, Crow-Armstrong was batting just .194 with three home runs. In 30 games since then, the young outfielder is
batting .327 with five long balls. Crow-Armstrong’s greatest strength remains his speed, as he has 26 stolen bases in 27 attempts this
season, but his recent production at the plate has unlocked another level of fantasy relevance. The 22-year-old could be poised for a
true breakout campaign in 2025 if he can get off to a faster start, as he has the tools to be a star player.
Impact It was the first career four-hit game for Crow-Armstrong as the young outfielder stayed locked in at the plate. Over his last
eight games, he’s batting a robust .448. About the only thing missing Wednesday for Crow-Armstrong was a stolen base, but he’s still
tied for the team lead with 26 steals. The 22-year-old is coming into his own at the MLB level and looks like a fantasy difference-maker
down the stretch.
Impact Crow-Armstrong hit one of four Cubs long balls, and for the first time in his career he has homered in consecutive games. The
speedy center fielder showed off his athleticism Friday when he raced around the bases in 14.1 seconds for an inside-the-park homer
and showed off the power Saturday, hitting it to the upper deck. He’s been hot as of late, and with this home run, he has four of his
seven homers this season in his last 11 games. Crow-Armstrong has started 26 straight games for the Cubs and could be somebody to
keep an eye on down the stretch.
