Pete Crow-Armstrong did more than double the Chicago Cubs’ lead when he crushed a two-run home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday.
Despite finishing the contest 1-for-4, the 23-year-old center fielder is now batting .284 with six home runs, 12 stolen bases, 21 RBIs and 23 runs so far in 2025. His contributions have the Cubs sitting atop the NL Central at 18-12, thanks to their 9-0 win in the series opener.
According to Underdog Fantasy’s Justin Havens, Crow-Armstrong is the first Cubs player ever to record at least six home runs, 12 stolen bases, 20 RBIs and 20 runs through his first 30 games of a season.

Crow-Armstrong was ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the Cubs’ farm system and the No. 16 prospect in baseball entering the 2024 campaign. He showed promise as a rookie, but is flashing star potential as a sophomore.
The Cubs and Pirates will continue their series Wednesday. First pitch is on the books for 6:40 p.m. ET.
