Crow-Armstrong Blazes to Cubs’ Fastest 25-25 Mark and Judge Robs His Homer

Earning a starting spot at the midsummer classic, he enters the break as the first player in MLB history to combine 25 homers, 25 steals with 70 RBIs before midseason

Overview

  • He reached the 25-homer, 25-steal threshold in just 92 games, the quickest pace in Cubs history and the fourth-fastest in MLB.
  • OptaSTATS data show he became the seventh player ever with at least five multi-homer and five multi-steal games in a single season, accomplishing both milestones in the fewest games.
  • His five multi-homer performances this year are the most by a Cub since Derrek Lee in 2005 and the only instance by a 23-year-old in franchise history.
  • He has delivered a .271/.309/.560 batting line and generated a 5.0 WAR, ranking second in MLB and first among National League outfielders.
  • On July 11 at Yankee Stadium, Aaron Judge robbed him of what would have been his 26th home run with a leaping catch in right field.
