• Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Having stellar spring

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Through 10 Cactus League games, Crow-Armstrong is slashing .519/.500/1.000 with three home runs and 11 RBI. The young outfielder handled a regular MLB role for the first time in 2024, and while he batted only .237 with a .286 on-base percentage, he did muster 10 home runs and 27 stolen bases in 123 games. Per Mike Petriello of MLB.com, Crow-Armstrong made some tweaks to his swing as the 2024 campaign went on, including moving back in the batter's box. The adjustments seemed to help, and if he can carry over some of his spring momentum into 2025, Crow-Armstrong could be poised for a true breakout effort.
