“I want to keep getting challenged and I want to keep showing that I can face these challenges head on and come out successful and come out a little bit better for it,” said Pete Crow-Armstrong, the Chicago Cubs prospect.
SAN FRANCISCO — Nearly a year ago, Pete Crow-Armstrong’s injury-shortened debut season took another twist.
“We don’t put limits on any of our guys, we’re not going to rush things either,” vice president of player development Jared Banner said of Crow-Armstrong’s big-league timeline. “Ultimately his performance is going to tell us what he’s ready for. So far, he’s done a great job, and we’ve been somewhat aggressive with him.”.
“I don’t think that the game changes all that much as you go up,” Crow-Armstrong said. “It’s just more strikes and guys have better command of all their pitches. So it’s about staying true to my approach still and keeping the good at-bats coming. I think once I started doing a little bit more of that, then the numbers started speaking for themselves.”
“That was definitely something I could group into that first month of a slight struggle, but this season’s a learning curve for me. It’s a whole process, and I’m trusting in it.”[Don’t miss] Chicago Cubs prospect Brailyn Marquez undergoes season-ending left shoulder surgery, while Brennen Davis nears a returnCrow-Armstrong also credited the Cubs for providing a lot of data and analytics to help him as needed.
The increased power numbers take the left-handed-hitting Crow-Armstrong’s offensive profile and all-around value to another level. In 68 games between Low A and High A this year, 33 of his 89 hits have gone for extra bases, including 13 home runs and eight triples.Advertisement
