Pete Crow-Armstrong joins Willie Mays in exclusive MLB record list

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has become one of only two players in the last 100 years to rank in the top five of MLB in home runs, triples, and stolen bases in a single season. The 24-year-old currently holds 39 home runs, seven triples, and 32 stolen bases, placing him in rare statistical company alongside Hall of Famer Willie Mays. Crow-Armstrong is now considered a primary contender for the National League MVP award, competing with Shohei Ohtani. The Cubs hold a 79-62 record and maintain the second National League Wild Card position as the team approaches the postseason. Chicago sits five games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central standings. The team is scheduled to begin a three-game series against the Miami Marlins in Miami this Friday.
