Pete Crow Armstrong Had One Of The Greatest Months In Baseball History
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Pete Crow-Armstrong turned in one of the greatest offensive months in baseball history in June, and the numbers put him in a class shared by only two other players.
The Cubs center fielder hit .381 with a .781 slugging percentage, 82 total bases, 17 walks, 11 home runs, and eight stolen bases over the month. OptaSTATS broke down the month in detail, laying out exactly which thresholds he cleared and which two Hall of Famers share the distinction with him.
The only other players to clear every one of those marks in a single month are Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, both New York Yankees legends. Ruth did it three times, in June 1920, July 1920 and May 1930. Gehrig matched the feat once, in June 1930. Both went on to have some of the best individual seasons in baseball history in the years they posted qualifying months.

One of the most exciting players in MLB. And he's a showboat and a little bit of a hothead. Good entertainment.
