Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has displayed a tremendous ability to impact the game with power and speed this year. His most recent multi-home run game against the Minnesota Twins gave him 25 long balls on the year. If you pair that performance with his 27 stolen bases, you get a franchise and MLB record from the young star.
According to Jordan Bastian at MLB.com, Crow-Armstrong just became the fastest Cubs player to reach a 25 home run/25 stolen base season . He accomplished this feat in 92 games this year. Per Sarah Langs, this actually is the fourth fastest a player has ever reached a 25/25 season in MLB history. Eric Davis (69 games), Alfonso Soriano (91 games), and Bobby Bonds (91 games) are the only players to ever do this quicker.

According to OptaStats, Crow-Armstrong now has five multi-home run and five multi-stolen base games this year. He reached those marks faster than anyone in MLB history, as Ian Kinsler was previously the record holder at 110 games played. Crow-Armstrong is also just the seventh player in MLB history to have five multi home run and stolen base games in a single season.
In 2015, rookie Kris Bryant launched 26 home runs during his first season. This amount of home runs are the most by a Cubs player under the age of 23. Crow-Armstrong, who has 25 long balls this year, should easily break this record, perhaps even in July. For reference, Bryant launched that 26th home run during game 141 his rookie season.
