Could Chicago Cubs All-Star outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong snag the NL MVP from Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani? PCA's narrative speaks for itself.
Let's acknowledge that there is no conversation to be had about who the best player in baseball is, so long as Shohei Ohtani is drawing breath and applying his skills as a two-way player. The gavel has long been banged on that issue. But there's a lot of baseball being played, and a lot of cool guys doing the playing, and one of those guys is Pete Crow-Armstrong, who in an Ohtani-less universe is the best player in baseball. Crow-Armstrong and the Cubs beat the crap out of the Pirates last ...

On June 9, with two outs in the bottom of the 10th, Braden Montgomery was digging in for the fifth plate appearance of his major league debut, while future first overall pick Roch Cholowsky was in the building as the White Sox were opening a harrowing stretch of schedule. Seemingly no one could have predicted that Montgomery's late swing on an 0-1 changeup from All-Star closer Raisel Iglesias would launch a ball off the top and over the left field wall for a walk-off home run .
