Cubs #1 Prospect looks likely to get a call up in September.
As exciting as Crow-Armstrong's enhanced offensive upside is, it pales in comparison to his defense. Scouts give top-of-the-scale grades to his center-field skills, as he exhibits tremendous range from gap to gap with his combination of plus speed and precision reads and routes, and he completes the package with solid arm strength. He's aggressive in the outfield and on the bases, stealing 32 bags in 43 tries last season.

Biographical Information[edit]
OF Pete Crow-Armstrong was the 19th player selected in the 2020 amateur draft, by the New York Mets out of Harvard-Westlake High School in Los Angeles, CA. He signed quickly, agreeing to a signing bonus of $3.359 million. He passed up an opportunity to attend Vanderbilt University in order to sign. He was considered the top defensive outfielder in that year's draft and a potential Gold Glove winner. Playing for the USA junior national team, he was one of three All-Star outfielders at the 2019 U-18 Baseball World Cup (alongside Darryl Collins and Robert Hassell), played in Busan, South Korea. The US won Silver.
He only played briefly in the Mets system, as the minor leagues were shut down by the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, and he was limited to just 6 games with the St. Lucie Mets of the Low-A Southeast in 2021. He did hit .417 during that brief stint, before he tore the labrum on his non-throwing shoulder, ending his season prematurely. He was on the injured list when on July 30th he was traded to the Chicago Cubs in return for SS Javier Baez, P Trevor Williams and cash. He made his debut in the Cubs' system in 2022, first with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans of the Carolina League. He hit .354 in 38 games to earn a promotion to the South Bend Cubs of the Midwest League on May 31st. He was then named to play for the National League team in the 2022 Futures Game; one of his teammates was 2019 USA teammate Hassell. He then hit .287 in 63 games for the South Bend Cubs of the Midwest League to finish the season at .312/.376/.520 in 101 games, with 20 doubles, 10 triples and 16 homers. He also scored 89 runs and drove in 61. He also picked up a minor league Gold Glove Award for his fielding work in center field.
He took part in the Cubs major league spring training in 2023 as a non-roster invitee. He was named to play in the 2023 Futures Game as well.
Both of his parents are accomplished actors, including for his mother Ashley Crow a role as the mother of the main protagonist in the 1994 baseball film Little Big League.
