Pete Crow-Armstrong Pitches Taken

He’s gifted enough to swing and punish pitches he should swing at and pitches he shouldn’t. Right now, he’s doing that, which is why an opposing manager like Murphy thinks he’s kind of a freak. It (almost certainly) won’t always work this well.

All those individual swings often add up to bigger, broader swings in performance and ultimately in perception. Just ask Javier Baez, the former Cubs phenom who brought Crow-Armstrong to Chicago in a 2021 trade with the New York Mets.

Always a singular, jaw-dropping defender and baserunner, Baez has vacillated between star turns and unplayable seasons because his swing decisions (swing compulsions?) keep him on the roller coaster.
