How a renewed approach in the box led to PCA's second All-Star nod
CHICAGO — Pete Crow-Armstrong stepped into the box to face Braves closer Raisel Iglesias during the Cubs’ trip to Atlanta in May and knew what to expect. Iglesias leans heavily on his fastball and changeup — rarely featuring his slider, especially against a left-handed batter.
Iglesias fired a first-pitch slider, and Crow-Armstrong popped out over the infield for the final out of that contest back on May 13. When the Cubs returned home for the next homestand, Alex Bregman pulled the Cubs center fielder aside and offered some veteran insight, using that moment against Iglesias as an example.
“The way people say things sometimes,” Crow-Armstrong said, “you may have heard it before, but for some reason the way he said it clicked with me.”

Pete Crow-Armstrong is that magnetic presence for the Chicago Cubs, the leadoff hitter gifted with speed and power, the Gold Glove center fielder in the highlight reels, the showman who plays with a smile and a scowl, depending on his mood.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is the Cubs’ only All-Star
Major League Baseball chose Saturday evening to announce this year’s All-Star teams — an odd time, in my view, the evening of a holiday — and Pete Crow-Armstrong made the NL All-Star team for the second straight season. Last year he was an elected starter; this year he’ll be a reserve outfielder.
Here’s what PCA said about the honor, in this Tribune article by Meghan Montemurro:
“Nice to get the nod from the baseball world,” Crow-Armstrong said after the Cubs’ 3-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at foggy Wrigley Field. “Having the fan vote get me in last year is obviously special, just felt like I was able to reach the baseball world as a whole.
