The Chicago Cubs’ center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has thrived since being moved to the top of the batting order, hitting a two-out, two-run home run in an 8-6 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Since his promotion on May 23, he has slashed .387/.451/.774 in 26 games, including five home runs in his last seven games. Recently, he made history as the first major leaguer to hit for the cycle this season and has recorded multiple leadoff home runs. Manager Craig Counsell’s decision to elevate Crow-Armstrong has clearly paid off.
