Chicago – The defensive player of the Cubs Center, Pete Crow -Armstrong, thought it was “cool” to hit the largest land in front of the typing area for a home run in the majors this season.
The large quick ball, from the start of the Pittsburgh Andrew Heaney Pirates in fourth round Thursday evening, measured 8.1 inches above the striking area, according to ESPN Research.
Crow-Armstrong crushed him on the right field to break a goalless tie.
“I undertake to be on time,” he said after the 3-2 victory of the Cubs. “He has a good radiator in a weak slit. He presents himself with a lot of portage. I already think at the top. Good to execute on a field like that.”
The explosion of two points was the 18th of the Crow-Armstrong season, all in the last two calendar months. He was a bad ball master this season, hitting throws above and below the striking area for the Home Runs.
“What you saw in 30 years of baseball says it is difficult to hit bullets for home runs,” said Cubs manager Craig Counsell. “He proves me wrong.”
In addition to hitting High Fastball off Heaney, Crow-Armstrong also has two of the five home circuits in the majors this season on land at least 3 inches under the area, one of which was 5.8 inches below May.
“Sometimes he strikes them from the ground and sometimes he strikes them over his head,” said the lifter of the Ryan Cubs. “I don’t even know how to launch pete, to be honest with you.”
Crow-Armstrong has a solid case of stars in its second full season in the big leagues. In addition to the 18 circuits, it has 21 stolen bases while playing the defense of gold gloves for the cubs of first place. This bidirectional combination explained it at the top of the National League at FWAR.
But these Home Runs are what has been revealing.
“It is on time and it allows his swing to retire,” said Counsell. “His swing can manage a lot of land.”
Crow-Armstrong is tied in the second row of the NL in the produced points with its teammate Seiya Suzuki, who also dominated on Thursday. The two did jockey for the team’s head in the two categories. Suzuki has 17 circuits.
He created a fun rivalry between the two because they were part of a dangerous trio, with the right defender Kyle Tucker, in the middle of the range of cubs.
“What I do is simply contribute to the situation as a whole,” said Crow-Armstrong. “I always try to play my role because that is what worked very well for us. Every day, I don’t have to be the guy. This is the coolest thing of all time.”
