2026 Fantasy Outlook
PCA created some early MVP buzz in 2025 thanks to his stellar defense and a hot start to the season, but he struggled at the plate down the stretch. The center fielder finished July with a .272/.309/.559 slash line with 27 home runs and 29 steals, but he cratered during the final two months of the campaign with just four homers, six stolen bases and a .533 OPS in his final 51 regular-season games. Still, Crow-Armstrong was one of only seven players to produce a 30-30 season in 2025, which is even more impressive given that it was just his second full season in the big leagues. Even with the late offensive struggles, he remained a regular presence in the lineup due to his elite defense (plus-15 DRS and plus-21 OAA). However, his plate discipline is a major concern, with his 4.7 percent walk rate ranking fifth worst in MLB among qualified batters. Crow-Armstrong showcased his potential in 2025 and has a ceiling as high as any player in baseball, but he'll likely need to improve his plate discipline to take that next step and become a more reliable offensive contributor.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a walk, two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Orioles.
Analysis
Crow-Armstrong continued his torrid start to July, as he now has a six-game hitting streak to begin the month with three home runs, six RBI and six runs scored. Overall, the star outfielder is on an eight-game hitting streak, which has pushed his season batting average up to .296 to go along with a robust .928 OPS. With 21 home runs and 23 stolen bases on the year, Crow-Armstrong is the first 20-20 player in the majors this season, and it could be awhile before anyone else joins the club -- no one else who already has 20 steals has more than 14 homers (Oneil Cruz), while no other players with 20-plus home runs has swiped more than 15 bags (James Wood and CJ Abrams).

2022
2021
Entering his age-23 season, Crow-Armstrong's bat is still well behind his glove, but he improved his offensive numbers down the stretch and positioned himself atop the Cubs' depth chart in center field to begin 2025. The first half of 2024 was ugly -- he sat with a .192/.243/.277 slash line at the end of June following his promotion from Triple-A Iowa -- but he went on to slash .287/.338/.470 over his final 202 MLB plate appearances. In addition to 10 homers, Crow-Armstrong chipped in 27 stolen bases in 30 attempts last season, ranking 13th in the National League in steals. He made just 17 starts against lefty pitching and his splits leave him open to platooning, but his excellent speed and defense would seem to give him a stable floor against right-handed pitching. Those skills prop him up and make Crow-Armstrong a viable pick in the middle rounds, although a speed-needy manager may push him up a bit higher than the overall package warrants.
Already a Gold Glove caliber center fielder, Crow-Armstrong got a brief taste of the majors to close his age-21 season. His contact rate was 72.5% at Double-A, 66.4% at Triple-A and 56.4% in the majors, so there is a pretty low batting average floor as things stand. He still managed a .283/.365/.511 slash line with 20 home runs and 37 steals in 107 games across the top two levels of the minors, so it's easy to see why many prospectors are excited about his power/speed potential under the assumption his defense will buy him a long leash. He has 98th percentile sprint speed but his exit velocities are middling. However, he gets the most of his average raw power thanks to a propensity to lift and pull. Seiya Suzuki and Ian Happ will return as everyday players, and Crow-Armstrong could win the third outfield spot in camp while competing against the likes of Mike Tauchman and Christopher Morel, but it's also possible the rookie returns to Triple-A if he is struggling to make enough contact in the spring.
Acquired from the Mets for two months of Javier Baez at the 2021 trade deadline, Crow-Armstrong is now one of the Cubs' best long-term building blocks. He needed shoulder surgery in early 2021 and returned last season with a vengeance, slashing .307/.372/.520 with 16 home runs, 32 steals (74.4% success rate), a 21.4 K% and a 7.8 BB% in 476 plate appearances, with over half of those coming at High-A. His approach was significantly better at Single-A (0.67 BB/K) than at High-A (0.20 BB/K), but he put his power and speed to use with regularity in games at both stops. His 39% groundball rate at High-A was particularly strong. The lefty-hitting center fielder has clear big-league tools, it's just a question of whether his bat will belong in the top third of a lineup or in the bottom half. His plus speed is even more evident when he's covering ground in center field than when he is on the basepaths, and his excellent defense should protect against a platoon or inconsistent playing. He should spend the bulk of his age-21 season at Double-A.
The Cubs did a nice piece of business when they acquired Crow-Armstrong from the Mets in exchange for Javier Baez and Trevor Williams at the trade deadline. He only played in six games at Low-A before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury, but he may not have been available for a Baez rental had he stayed healthy. Crow-Armstrong couldn't have performed much better in his limited action, notching 10 hits (including two doubles) with more walks (seven) than strikeouts (six) in those six games. He also attempted five steals but was successful just twice. He gets rave reviews for his defense in center field and plus speed on the bases, but Crow-Armstrong has a sneaky high offensive ceiling -- there is more power potential than he is given credit for by some evaluators. If it all comes together, he could be a 20/20 threat who leads off or bats second. Given his limited pro experience, his stock could swing significantly in either direction in his age-20 season, depending on how he performs at the plate.
Crow-Armstrong, one of the most famous prep players in last year's class, has a chance to be a five-tool player if his bat maxes out. The Mets selected him with the 19th overall pick and he now profiles as their center fielder of the future. He should hold plus speed into his late 20s and could be a plus defensive center fielder with a plus arm. While he will probably always be hit-over-power, Crow-Armstrong has plus bat speed and a good swing plane, so if he develops a plus hit tool, he should be able to tap into 20-homer power. He didn't live up to expectations in the summer of 2019, but the left-handed hitter was off to a great start last spring, and he could have risen back into top-10 consideration had he played a full senior season at Harvard-Westlake. He started tapping into power during the fall instructional league, driving the ball to both gaps and hitting one out at 107 mph.

Crow-Armstrong was named the National League Player of the Month for June on Friday, according to Jason Foster of MLB.com.

Crow-Armstrong led all qualified hitters in June with a 1.249 OPS and posted a 14-game hitting streak while also hitting for the cycle against the Rockies on June 15. He hit .381 with 11 homers throughout the month.
