Pete Crow-Armstrong 2025 Season

Where Crow-Armstrong settles in across a full season – and how much Mets fans rue the Baez trade, as the Cubs head to Citi Field this weekend for a matchup of division leaders – will depend on whether he can strike a less perilous balance.

It’s clear he has the right idea of how to make the most of it when he connects – almost a quarter of his batted balls are pulled in the air. That’s a decent start. He’ll still need to maintain his improving contact rate to set his sights on All-Star status.

This season, his whiff rate is actually higher against fastballs than secondary pitches, mostly because even meh pitchers can get him to swing at impossibly high fastballs. Better pitchers, meanwhile, can make him look somewhere between frustrated and resigned. That wasn’t the case a year ago, though, when breaking balls especially flummoxed him.
