Is Pete Crow-Armstrong Baseball’s Next Superstar or Just a Flash in the Pan?
Over the past five full campaigns (so, not 2020), there have been 57 hitter seasons that combine sub-80 discipline+ and 100+ RV+, and only two players from the group – Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez and Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II – have had multiple seasons this way.
More hitters have dipped into this territory before stabilizing – Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz started out here in 2023, then improved his discipline last year. Reigning NL Rookie of the Year Jackson Merrill of the San Diego Padres ran a 79 discipline+ last year with good contact and damage numbers.
