Pete Crow-Armstrong delivered a historic night, crushing a leadoff homer on the first pitch and then a walk-off blast in extra innings to steal a win for the Cubs — a statement performance against rivals after a rough stretch. He’s now the first player since 1957 to hit both homers in the same game, joining an elite group with 30+ homers and 30+ steals in back-to-back seasons before turning 24. His power is rare — he’s one of only a few since 1900 to have multiple seasons with 10+ total bases, and his eight games with 10+ total bases are the most by anyone 24 or younger since 1900. Clutch under pressure? Check — tied for league lead with eight go-ahead or tying hits in the 7th inning or later. And he’s nearly identical against both lefties and righties, making him unstoppable. His fWAR has soared from solid to league-leading in June and July — proving he’s not just good, he’s MVP-caliber.
