Deep & Wide: Pete Crow-Armstrong’s New Stance Driving Results
AP Photo/Erin HooleyGetting off to a slow start caused a lot of observers to pump the brakes on the Pete Crow-Armstrong hype, but we’ve got enough of a sample now to start laying down more definite statements about how good he is. I’m not just talking about the last few games here. Since July 3 of last season, a span of 379 plate appearances, PCA is slashing .273/.321/.477 with a 121 wRC+, 14 homers, and a 4.3 fWAR mark that is eighth in all of MLB. A little less than a third of that comes from this season, where his line is .295/.339/.543 with a 145 wRC+, five homers, and a 2.0 fWAR mark that ties him for second in MLB.
