Pete Crow-Armstrong Building Case as Best Player Ever
It’s up to you to determine just how seriously you’d like to take that headline — and yourself, for that matter — but Pete Crow-Armstrong whacked two homers on Saturday and collected his 13th hit Sunday to move into a tie with Michael Busch for the Cactus League lead. PCA’s nine runs scored also lead the league, which is what happens when you reach base half the time you step to the plate. The speedster’s impressive and somewhat paradoxical .520/.500/1.040 slash line has got some folks speaking in hyperbole.
“He’s the best player I’ve ever seen,” third base coach Quintin Berry said with a sly grin during Sunday’s game. “He’s putting on a show. He can run. He’s strong.”
