The Chicago Cubs improved to 45-28 on the season with a 5-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night, thanks in large part to rising star Pete Crow-Armstrong.
PCA Shines with Glove and Bat
At just 23 years old, PCA continues to make his mark on the league, showcasing his elite skills both in the field and at the plate. In the top of the 8th inning, Crow-Armstrong made a spectacular defensive play, robbing a hit with a highlight-reel catch. Just minutes later, he launched a home run off the scoreboard, putting an exclamation point on a memorable night.
This is the full PCA experience—Gold Glove-caliber defense paired with explosive power at the plate.
Caleb Williams Shows Support
Adding to the excitement, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams took notice of PCA’s performance, reposting the Cubs snapshot of the home run with the caption: “Say it with us, MVPETE.”
It’s always fun to see two of Chicago’s young stars recognizing each other’s greatness. Now the question becomes: can Williams replicate PCA’s early success in his own sport?
MVP-Level Numbers
Statistically, Crow-Armstrong is putting together a legitimate MVP-caliber season. He’s slashing .270/.305/.550 with 19 home runs, 58 RBIs, 23 stolen bases, and 52 runs scored through 72 games.
Defensively, he leads all MLB players with a 12 Fielding Run Value and is tied for the National League lead in fWAR at 3.9.
NL MVP Race Heating Up
If PCA keeps up this pace, the National League MVP race may very well run through him. He’s proving that he's not just the future of the Cubs—he might be the face of the league.
