Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs has been in the headlines for his tremendous play as of late. Crow-Armstrong is having the best year of his career as the leadoff hitter for the Cubs, boasting career highs in batting average (.286) and OPS (.883).

The 24-year-old played tremendously last week for Chicago, starting with the series against the Colorado Rockies. On Monday, June 15, the Harvard-Westlake High School graduate hit for the cycle in a 5-4 win, becoming the 13th player in Cubs history to accomplish the feat. The center fielder continued his hot play throughout the week, including a stellar performance on Friday in Chicago's 16-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

That same day, the Gold Glove Award winner took to social media to capitalize on his name being in the headlines.
