Is Pete Crow-Armstrong Baseball’s Next Superstar or Just a Flash in the Pan?
PCA’s Path From ‘Right Now’ to ‘All-Star’
It’s possible to thrive in an unorthodox way, by making enough contact and doing enough damage with it. Crow-Armstrong’s uptick this season stems mostly from bat-to-ball improvements.
His contact rate on pitches in the zone has jumped up to league average, and his contact+ is up at 105 after coming at 98 in 2024. Pair that with a 144 BIP+, the damage metric in which Baez excels on his good days, and it all balances out evenly enough.
