Pete Crow-Armstrong nears historic 40-40 milestone with Chicago Cubs

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is approaching historic milestones in the 2026 MLB season. During recent games against the Miami Marlins and Milwaukee Brewers, the 24-year-old has solidified his status as a leading National League MVP candidate.

Crow-Armstrong has reached the 40-home run mark, becoming only the second left-handed hitter in Cubs history to achieve this feat, joining Hall of Famer Billy Williams. He also became the first player in franchise history to record a 40-30 season. He currently sits at 41 home runs and 35 stolen bases, placing him just five steals away from joining the elite 40-40 club.

In a recent matchup against the Marlins, Crow-Armstrong hit his 40th home run, though the Cubs ultimately lost the game 10-3. In a subsequent game against the Brewers, he recorded two hits and two stolen bases, further advancing his pursuit of the 40-40 milestone. His performance has drawn comparisons to legendary players due to his combination of power, speed, and defensive ability.
