Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong's Rare MLB Feat Places Him 4th on Elite List

"Most Valuable Player" is a good way to describe Crow-Armstrong, because he can do a little bit of everything on the baseball diamond.

For example, on June 3, the MLB's official X account shared a rare achievement that best displays the rising Cubs star's coveted blend of power and speed.

"Pete Crow-Armstrong just stole his 20th base of the season," the MLB account noted on Tuesday evening. Relaying that "he is the 4th-fastest player to reach 15+ HR and 20+ SB in the modern era (since 1900)!"

Crow-Armstrong achieved this feat in 60 games, according to the MLB, and that puts him in elite company behind 3-time All-Star Bobby Bonds (59 games), early 1900s career-.319 hitter Ken Williams (54 games) and 2-time All-Star and record-holder Eric Davis — who registered 15 HRs and 20 steals in just 40 games.

Heading in June 4, Crow-Armstrong is tied for first in stolen bases with Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert. He also ranks ninth in the MLB in home runs and third in RBIs with 51, behind Boston Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers and teammate Seiya Suzuki.

If Crow-Armstrong can keep up his torrid pace in 2025, he has a legitimate shot at the MLB MVP award.
