In a stellar performance, Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs cemented his status as one of the league's most exciting players by hitting his 25th home run of the season, contributing to an 8-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins. By accomplishing the rare 25-home run, 25-stolen base milestone before the All-Star break, he joins legends Bobby Bonds and Eric Davis. This marks a dramatic increase from his previous year's totals, as Crow-Armstrong has already exceeded the 10 home runs he hit last year in his rookie season.

With a .271 batting average, 25 home runs, 67 RBI, and 27 stolen bases, Crow-Armstrong has established himself as a dual-threat player, ranking in the top tier of the league in multiple statistical categories. Cubs fans are eager to see how he performs against the New York Yankees in the upcoming weekend series before the All-Star game, where he will also make his first appearance as a starter, voted in by fans.
