Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong makes splash with bat, but defense comes ‘first and foremost’
Crow-Armstrong hit two home runs in the Cubs’ Cactus League win Satruday against the Marin
MESA, Ariz. – Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong made his biggest contribution Saturday with his bat, hitting a solo homer and a grand slam in a Cactus League game against the Mariners.
He treated the accomplishment like the outlier it was.
“I definitely want to take pride in eventually becoming that well-rounded player [on offense],” he said. “And I think that I’m setting myself up well to do that. But that’s the goal at the end of the day, is to go play Gold Glove defense, first and foremost, and then be able to produce wherever I’m at in the lineup.”
