Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong has taken his game to another level during the 2025 MLB regular season.<\/p>\n

He showed signs of figuring things out in the second half of the 2024 campaign and has built upon that in a major way this year.<\/p>\n

What was going to determine how big of a star he became was his bat.<\/p>\n

Crow-Armstrong was going to be an everyday player based on his defensive ability and speed alone, but to reach that All-Star level, he needed to figure it out at the plate.<\/p>\n

That is exactly what he has done in 2025, bursting onto the scene as a surefire All-Star and National League MVP candidate.<\/p>\n

He has already surpassed most of his counting stats from his rookie campaign in what has been a career year.<\/p>\n

The most surprising aspect of his game has been his power production.<\/p>\n

After hitting 10 home runs last season in 410 plate appearances, Crow-Armstrong has already launched 18 and counting during this campaign.<\/p>\n

His most recent one was truly impressive, giving him a record for the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Hitting against Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Andrew Heaney on Thursday night, Crow-Armstrong took him deep on a pitch that was 8.1 inches high out of the strike zone.<\/p>\n

It is the furthest pitch outside of the strike zone hit for a home run thus far this year, giving the Cubs’ star a \u201ccool\u201d accomplishment.<\/p>\n

“I’m just committing to being on time for it,” Crow-Armstrong said, via Jesse Rogers of ESPN. “He has a good heater in a low slot. It presents itself with a lot of carry. I’m already thinking on top. Good to execute on a pitch like that.”<\/p>\n

His unique approach is part of what makes him such an exciting player to watch on the field.<\/p>\n

Crow-Armstrong is incredibly aggressive at the plate, regularly swinging at pitches that aren\u2019t in the zone with a 43.9% chase rate, which is in the 1st percentile in the MLB.<\/p>\n

He also owns the distinction for a home run hit off the lowest pitch out of the zone this season, launching a home run on a ball that was 5.8 inches down in May.<\/p>\n

Sustaining this level of success at the plate by swinging at so many pitches won\u2019t be easy, but he has defied the odds to this point.<\/p>\n
