Pete Crow-Armstrong nears potential 40-40 season with Chicago Cubs

Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong remains a candidate for a 40-40 season as the team enters the final stretch of the 2026 regular season. Following a performance against the Brewers on Monday where he stole two bases, Crow-Armstrong has reached 35 stolen bases for the year. He is also nearing a milestone for home runs, trailing Billy Williams’ 1970 record of 42 for a left-handed Cubs hitter by only one. With 17 games remaining on the schedule, the team is gauging fan expectations regarding his final stolen base total. A 40-40 season would mark the first occurrence for a Cubs player and only the seventh in major league history. The organization is currently collecting input through an SB Nation Reacts survey to determine how many more steals supporters expect from the National League MVP candidate before the conclusion of the regular season.
