Crow-Armstrong loving Cubs' offense: 'So easy to hit in this lineup'
Pete Crow-Armstrong spoke highly of his Chicago Cubs teammates after hitting two home runs in Friday's 10-0 rout of the Milwaukee Brewers.
"It's so easy to hit in this lineup," he said, according to ESPN's Jesse Rogers. "I feel so confident going up to the plate in the 7-hole. Talk about flying under the radar. I feel like I can hide in there in a way.
"Hitting in this lineup is the biggest difference I've seen this year to any other year I’ve ever played baseball."
The 23-year-old outfielder is authoring a breakout season, slashing .266/.305/.508 with six home runs, 10 doubles, and 12 stolen bases through 32 games played.
He's already accrued 2.1 fWAR, the fourth-most in the league.
Chicago's lineup has scored an MLB-leading 202 runs. The dynamic group, led by offseason-acquisition Kyle Tucker, leads the National League in wRC+ (126), batting average (.266), and slugging percentage (.461).
The Cubs lead baseball with 44 stolen bases, and their 49 home runs rank third behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees.
Crow-Armstrong and company will look to keep rolling Saturday in Milwaukee in the second game of their series with the Brewers.
