Chicago Cubs Center Fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong was named the midseason National League MVP by Fox Sports. The star center fielder is having a great regular season. It led to the first All-Star selection of his career. Crow-Armstrong is sixth in the league in home runs, seventh in RBI, fourth in stolen bases, and 11th in Slugging Percentage. PCA is also one of the best fielders in the league. He is fifth in the league in Defensive WAR. Will he continue playing well in the second half of the regular season?
Pete Crow-Armstrong Career Summary
Crow-Armstrong was the No. 19 overall pick by the New York Mets in the 2020 MLB Draft. He came to the Cubs in 2021 in a trade that sent Javier Baez to New York. PCW was the No. 1 prospect in Chicago’s system before debuting with the club in 2023. He was mediocre last year. He has taken his game up multiple notches in 2025.
Final Thoughts
Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs begins their second half of the season with a matinee against the red-hot Boston Red Sox. Even though the center fielder was named the midseason MVP, the betting markets believe that Los Angeles Dodgers Designated Hitter Shohei Ohtani will be named NL MVP at season’s end. The young star will look to lead the Cubs on a deep postseason run this fall.
