Chicago Cubs: MLB analyst reveals why Pete Crow-Armstrong should be frontrunner for NL MVP
The Chicago Cubs are 66-49 following their sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday afternoon. As has been the case all week thus far, the two National League powerhouses were propelled by their best players, Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs and Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers.
Both players are having stellar seasons, and each are considered a top-two favorite to win the National League MVP Award. Ohtani, of course, was thought to have the inside track because of his pitching. However, one MLB analyst isn’t so sure anymore.
MLB analyst says Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong should be the NL MVP
Entering play on Wednesday, Crow-Armstrong was hitting .284/.384/.535 with 24 home runs, 65 RBI, and 28 RBI. He also led the Majors with 7.0 WAR. In Chicago’s final game in their series against Los Angeles, he was 3-5 with two more home runs and four RBI.
Prior to the game, Jon Morosi of MLB Network stated that he believes the Cubs centerfielder should be the frontrunner for the NL MVP Award:
“As of right now, I will say Pete Crow-Armstrong is the frontrunner to win the National League MVP.”@jonmorosi highlights the @Cubs superstar and his elite combination of offense and defense ahead of today’s #MLBNShowcase presented by @Goodyear at 2pm ET. pic.twitter.com/9X9Z5dVrlg

“As the kids are saying these days, Wrigley is a vibe. It was amazing to be there, I heard the chants, and then I looked at the numbers. I said to myself, ‘What is the argument for PCA to win the MVP in the National League?’
“And as of right now, I will say Pete Crow-Armstrong is the front runner to win the National League MVP.”
Morosi goes on to argue that PCA’s defensive numbers, combined with his offensive numbers, still give him a higher WAR than Ohtani.
And since it is not yet known when or if Ohtani can pitch again this year, PCA may have the upper hand.
