Chicago Cubs Rookie Shatters MLB Speed Record in 2024

Follow our new Twitter account for real-time updates and in-depth analysis of all things Chicago Cubs. Chicago Cubs rookie Pete Crow-Armstrong was showing off all his tools against the Atlanta Braves Wednesday and he even set a new 2024...

One of the highlights of the game was Crow-Armstrong’s eighth-inning triple against Jesse Chavez, an experienced reliever, marking it as the Cubs’ 10th triple for the season. This exceptional play also set a record for the fastest time any player has run from home to third base throughout the league this year, with PCA clocking in at an impressive 11.01 seconds. This feat now stands as the fastest in the 2024 MLB season.
 
This is kind of an oddity, but still impressive:


The Cubs 22-year-old rookie had multiple three-plus hit games, stole three or more bases in a game and scored four or more runs in a game. OptaSTATS reports that Crow-Armstrong is the first rookie in the modern era of MLB (since 1901) to accomplish all three of the aforementioned feats in a single series.

Crow-Armstrong is regarded as a player who can do plenty of different things on the field. He offers a blend of speed and power to go along with five-tool potential.

Pete Crow-Armstrong’s offense is becoming must-see TV.

And it’s not just because his swing changes have produced better and harder contact and more results.

It’s because he can seemingly create chaos anytime he’s at the plate or on the bases — Sunday was a prime example.

Some great catches and all in one game. Doesn't make the BSPN front page though nor does it make the headlines of the MLB page on BSPN.

Wow, the final out homerun robbery should have been a top headline. BSPN was probably too busy writing about the WNBA (but not Clark) and Tyrek Hill being a “victim of the police”.
 
According to Underdog Fantasy's Justin Havens, Crow-Armstrong is the first Cubs player ever to record at least six home runs, 12 stolen bases, 20 RBIs and 20 runs through his first 30 games of a season.

This is largely why, when we look at the Outs Above Average leaderboard for 2025, Crow-Armstrong is at the top among all players, and he’s tied at the top among outfielders in 2024-25.

It’s in part due to the pure speed, obviously, as Crow-Armstrong has rated in the 95th percentile or above in Sprint Speed in each of his three seasons in the Majors. But it’s also about his ability to react quickly: Crow-Armstrong has improved the jumps he gets in each year. In his brief look as a rookie in 2023, he was getting jumps +2 feet better than average; in '24, it was 3 feet better; this year, it’s 5 feet better than average, second-best in the Majors behind only Boston’s Ceddanne Rafaela.
