This Chicago Cubs prospect is doing amazing things right now

The Chicago Cubs are not a good baseball team. They are going to finish in the bottom half of the National League and make this year all about developing for the future. That means that they will put a high value on players in their Minor League pipeline.

One of those players is Pete Crow-Armstrong. He was acquired in the trade that sent Javier Baez to the New York Mets in 2021. Even if he becomes a halfway decent player in MLB, that will forever be looked at as a great trade for the Cubs.

Baez did not stay in New York as he opted to sign a big contract with the Detroit Tigers during the 2021-22 offseason. Now, the Mets are without Baez and Crow-Armstrong. They are one of the best teams in the National League right now with the richest owner so they are fine with it (you would think).

The Cubs are a rebuilding franchise so adding someone like Crow-Armstrong to the mix could really help them one day. They are happy to know that he is off to just a tremendous start to the 2022 Minor League Season.

The Chicago Cubs might have a really good player in Pete Crow-Armstrong.

He is currently playing for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans of A Baseball. The Chicago Cubs are sure to promote him throughout the season which is going to be totally fun to watch. They are at the point again where they are enjoying these prospects and watching them climb.

To begin this young year, Crow-Armstrong has a slash line of .326/.463/.581 for an OPS of 1.044. That is just magnificent. He has two home runs on the season as well with one of them coming inside the park. There are 10 RBIs to go with all of that as well.

Knowing that he has an inside-the-park home run, you can infer that he is pretty fast. He also has seven stolen bases on the season and two of them are him stealing home. To say that this kid is on fire right now would be an understatement. He is very good.

It very well might take a while to see him on the north side but there is no point to rush him. As long as he keeps developing and producing as the competition gets tougher, the Cubs will be very happy with him. At 20 years old, there is a lot of development still to go but he is well on his way. The Cubs did a very good job with this trade and his early development is promising.
