Pete Crow-Armstrong Is Good Enough To Raise The Forbidden Question

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 night, tagging Paul Skenes for five runs in an 11-0 victory.

Crow-Armstrong was responsible for most of that damage, going 4-for-5 with a homer, three RBI, and three runs scored.

He also hit two doubles and stole a base.
