Chicago Cubs 1st half MVP revealed in Fox Sports’ MLB power rankings
The Chicago Cubs are 52-41 on the season following their 3-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. They will now play a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds to close out the first half of the season before the All-Star break.
It has certainly been a roller coaster of a first half for Chicago. While they did have two different ten-game winning streaks, they also had a ten-game losing streak and went over a month without winning a single series.
Despite their struggles and multiple injuries, they are in second place in the National League Central Division and currently hold the NL’s top Wild Card spot.
Pete Crow-Armstong named the Chicago Cubs MVP of the 1st half
While the Cubs were going through the lowest of their lows this year, Gold Glove centerfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong was also struggling. At one point, he was moved all the way down to ninth in the batting order because of how bad he was performing at the plate.
And then he got hot. Red hot. And Chicago has been playing better ever since.
In their latest MLB power rankings, Fox Sports slotted the Cubs in at sixth and named Crow-Armstrong the team’s MVP of the first half of the season:
“This is one of the easiest choices on the list. Pete Crow-Armstrong trails only Shohei Ohtani in fWAR and leads the Cubs in hits, homers and every slash-line category. His .910 OPS ranks in the top 10 among all qualified MLB hitters, and he also happens to be the best defensive center fielder in the game.”
So far in 2026, PCA is hitting .296/.387/.543 with 21 home runs, 52 RBI, and 23 stolen bases. Already having achieved a 20-20 season, he is the first Cubs player to reach those marks in back-to-back seasons since Sammy Sosa.
If he keeps up this level of play, she should get some MVP consideration after the regular season as well.
