If you have been a regular reader of this series, then you know how I love to try to find the hidden up-and-coming dynasty gems during the season. But sometimes you have to go for the low hanging fruit and highlight a player who is showing the skills that many expected of him since becoming a professional.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is a former Top 100 prospect, entering the 2024 season ranked as the 18th best prospect by Baseball America, 16th by MLB and 20th by Baseball Prospectus.

After a cup of coffee with the Cubs in 2023, Crow-Armstrong appeared in 123 games last season, but he had an up-and-down season. During the first half of the season, Crow-Armstrong slashed .203/.253/.329 with three homers, 17 RBI and 17 steals in 60 games (46 starts). Over the second half, however, Crow-Armstrong started to figure things out, slashing .262/.310/.425 with seven home runs, 30 RBI and 10 steals in 63 games, all starts.

Through the first month of this season, it appears Crow-Armstrong is carrying over what he did during the second half of last season, making him a solid Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player.

Let’s dive in and take a look at Crow-Armstrong.
