Chicago Cubs: Pete Crow-Armstrong has made MLB history yet again
At 58-45, the Chicago Cubs have one of the best records in Major League Baseball. However, they are six games back of first place in the National League Central Division. While they do hold the top Wild Card spot in the National League, there is concern that they do not have the pitching to maintain their level of play.
Indeed, Chicago’s pitching staff has taken some serious blows this season as multiple players have been lost to injury. One could make a solid argument that the reason the Cubs are where they are now, solidly in the playoff picture, is due to All-Star center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong.
Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong continues to make MLB history
Crow-Armstrong has already put himself into franchise and Major League record books this year. For example, his 22 home runs and 25 stolen bases so far this season have made him the first Cubs player since Sammy Sosa to post back-to-back 20-2o seasons.
And according to Yahoo Sports, he also has accomplished something MLB has not seen since 1979:
“Crow-Armstrong has also joined another exclusive group, becoming the first player since the 1970s to hit 22 home runs, five triples, and steal 25 bases before August (OptaSTATS). He joins Davey Lopes (1979) and Ken Williams (1922) as the only three players in MLB history to accomplish these numbers prior to August 1.”
As one can see, the last playerr with at least 22 home runs, five triples, and 25 stolen bases before August 1 was Davey Lopes all the way back in 1979. Lopes was just the second player ever to accomplish the feat, with Ken Williams being the first in 1922.
Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is widely believed to be in line to win the NL MVP Award again. That being said, Crow-Armstrong is sure making a compelling case for himself.
