Crow-Armstrong Aims for a 30-30 Run, Echoing Cubs-Sosa Milestones
Pete Crow-Armstrong is on pace for another 30-30 season, entering with 19 homers and 23 steals and eyeing a return to the 30-30 club that would tie Sammy Sosa for the Cubs’ franchise record. Projections from STEAMER, ZiPS, ZiPS DC, and THE BAT all anticipate roughly 30+ homers and 38–39 stolen bases for 2026, depending on playing time. PCA previously reached 30-30 last year and has shown significant improvements in approach (higher walk rate, lower chase rate, higher exit velocity and hardHit rate, and faster bat speed), fueling optimism for sustained production. If he achieves this, he would join a small, elite group of players with multiple 30-30 seasons and move closer to the Cubs’ historical 3+ 30-30 club, underscoring his potential to leave a lasting mark in franchise history.
