Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong hit his 40th home run of the season during a Sunday contest against the Miami Marlins. The fifth-inning blast against pitcher Tyler Phillips moved the 24-year-old into elite team company, joining Billy Williams and Ernie Banks as one of the few Cubs to reach the 40-homer milestone at such a young age. Crow-Armstrong currently leads the National League with a.948 OPS and a.573 slugging percentage. With 18 games remaining in the regular season, he maintains a chance to join the 40-40 club, as he currently holds 33 stolen bases. This season also featured his first 3-homer game and a late-August performance against the Chicago White Sox that included both a leadoff and walk-off home run. He stands as the first player in Cubs history to record at least 40 home runs and 30 stolen bases in a single campaign.
