Pete Crow-Armstrong

PCA created some early MVP buzz in 2025 thanks to his stellar defense and a hot start to the season, but he struggled at the plate down the stretch. The center fielder finished July with a .272/.309/.559 slash line with 27 home runs and 29 steals, but he cratered during the final two months of the campaign with just four homers, six stolen bases and a .533 OPS in his final 51 regular-season games. Still, Crow-Armstrong was one of only seven players to produce a 30-30 season in 2025, which is even more impressive given that it was just his second full season in the big leagues. Even with the late offensive struggles, he remained a regular presence in the lineup due to his elite defense (plus-15 DRS and plus-21 OAA). However, his plate discipline is a major concern, with his 4.7 percent walk rate ranking fifth worst in MLB among qualified batters. Crow-Armstrong showcased his potential in 2025 and has a ceiling as high as any player in baseball, but he'll likely need to improve his plate discipline to take that next step and become a more reliable offensive contributor.
