Chicago Cubs: Pete Crow-Armstrong gets top-5 ranking on list of best players under 25
There may not be an offensive star with more potential on the Chicago Cubs roster than center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong. Already a Gold Glove winning outfielder, he has all the offensive tools to become one of the most complete players in the game. As he is still just 23 years old, he still has a great deal of learning and growing to do.
But what he has shown so far in his young career has been nothing short of impressive. A dismal second half aside last year, PCA still became one of the youngest players in the history of the game to post a 30-30 season.
His ceiling, indeed, is incredibly high, and analysts around baseball have taken notice of the star potential that he has.

In a recent article in which he ranked the 25 best players under the age of 25 in Major League Baseball, Bleacher Report‘s Joel Reuter ranked PCA as the fifth-best:
“Pete Crow-Armstrong has wasted no time firmly establishing himself as one of baseball’s premier defensive players, and that serves as a strong foundation for an impressive but volatile offensive game.
“Despite a second-half slump and a sub-.300 on-base percentage, he still became the first Cubs player since Sammy Sosa to record a 30/30 season, swiping 35 bases in 43 attempts to go along with his 31 long balls.
“The fact that he was a 6.0-WAR player even with a .634 OPS during the second half and a paltry 4.5 percent walk rate speaks to just how high his ceiling could be with further refinement.
“In the worst-case scenario, he’s a perennial Gold Glove winner and 20/20 threat, and that’s a fantastic floor for a player who will turn 24 on Opening Day.”
What is oftentimes overlooked when trying to determine what kind of player PCA will be is just what Reuter said at the end of his description. Not only is his ceiling high, but so is his floor.
If the worst case scenario is that PCA is one of the most elite center fielders in the baseball and can hit 20 home runs while stealing 20 bases every year, that is still really, really good.
