@yetundejonesGrowing up, Pete Crow-Armstrong had ONE idol: Derrick Rose 🌹 Pete spent his childhood watching a 22-year-old kid capture the soul of Chicago, hunt down a mythical titan in LeBron James, and demand the crown of the youngest NBA MVP ever. Fifteen years later, PCA is walking in the exact footsteps of his hero. Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field, Pete Crow-Armstrong put on an all-time masterclass. A 4-for-6, 3-homer, 6-RBI demolition of the Reds that sent his NL MVP odds soaring by 27% in a single day. Look at the total picture:.282 AVG, 36 homers, 89 RBI, 32 stolen bases, a.944 OPS, and an MLB-leading 8 leadoff bombs. He joined elite company as the second-youngest outfielder in baseball history to pair a 30/30 season with 10 Fielding Runs. He stands alone as the first player in the MLB to cross the 9.0 fWAR mark this year...with 26 games still left on the clock. Shohei Ohtani set the standard. 8-2 on the bump, hitting.295 with 36 bombs. Yet PCA just lapped the best player on Earth on the WAR leaderboard. Third season. Chasing a generational legend. Carrying that ice-cold clutch gene. Wearing the mantle of the icon he worshipped as a kid. 26 games remaining. A 9.0 fWAR. Wrigley Field shaking to its foundation. Pete Crow-Armstrong is living Derrick Rose’s MVP legacy in real time. The debate is over 🔥
