Player Analysis
Pete Crow-Armstrong has been a crucial player for the Cubs this season. Although he is not a power hitter, his ability to make contact and get on base has been instrumental. With a batting average hovering around .250 and his knack for getting crucial hits, he has been a reliable performer.
