2025 Player Outlook
Crow-Amstrong will head into the 2025 season as the everyday center fielder for the Cubs, and his defensive prowess will give him a lengthy leash in case there are any struggles at the plate. He hit 10 home runs and went 27-for-30 on stolen base attempts last season. There’s even more upside in the stolen base department, especially if PCA can improve upon last year’s .237 average and .286 OBP! He was much better in the second half of last season, only striking out 22.5 percent of the time and posting a .310 OBP over his final 63 games. There’s a lot of potential with PCA, and this is a good Chicago lineup, so there’s optimism for PCA to join the 15/30 club this year, and while his average won’t be great, think .240ish, he’ll be a better asset in leagues that value AVG compared to OBP.

Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a three-run homer off Jose Quintana in the Cubs’ 6-2 victory over the Brewers on Saturday.
Crow-Armstrong has three homers in two days and is now tied for fifth in MLB with nine overall. It’s hard to imagine him maintaining this pace, but as one of the game’s best basestealers, he’s here to stay as an excellent fantasy outfielder.
Pete Crow-Armstrong homered twice to lead the Cubs to a 10-0 victory over the Brewers on Friday.
Pete Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-4 with another home run, four RBI, a run scored, and two stolen bases in a 7-6 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Crow-Armstrong continued his assault of the Dodgers as he hit his fourth of just five total homers on the season against the deafening champs. Ironically, he hit a long fly ball in his first at-bat that should have been out, but was knocked down by the wind at Wrigley Field. All four of his batted balls in this game were hit harder than 100 mph and when he wasn’t hitting home runs, he was running wild on the bases. He is scalding hot right now going 18-for-36 over his last 10 games with five homers, six doubles, and a triple. He has a shot to be a fantasy superstar if he can sustain any type of consistency at the plate. Poor plate discipline may still stand in his way, but this hot streak is a fun one to dream on.
Pete Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBI on Tuesday as the Cubs eked out a one-run victory over the Dodgers in extra innings.
The 23-year-old outfielder smacked an RBI double and scored as part of the Cubs’ five-run uprising in the opening inning. He then crushed a 398-foot (103.6 mph EV) two-run shot off of Dustin May in the fifth inning that increased the Cubs’ lead to 7-4. With his three-hit effort, he’s now slashing a healthy .276/.324/.510 on the season with four homers, 13 RBI and eight stolen bases.
