Pete Henry Crow-Armstrong[1] (born March 25, 2002), also known by his initials "PCA", is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2023.[2]

Crow-Armstrong was drafted by the New York Mets with the 19th overall pick of the 2020 MLB draft. During the 2021 trade deadline, Crow-Armstrong was traded to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Javier Báez and Trevor Williams.

Amateur career

[edit]

Crow-Armstrong attended Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles, California, where he played baseball.[3] In 2019, his junior year, he was named the Los Angeles Times Player of the Year after hitting .395 with three home runs, 23 RBIs, forty runs, and 47 hits over 34 games, striking out only seven times.[4] That summer, he played in the 2019 Under Armour All-America Baseball Game.[5] In 2020, his senior year, he was batting .514 before the baseball season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] He committed to play college baseball at Vanderbilt University in the fall of 2017 but decided to declare for the 2020 MLB draft instead.
