Dodgers Defeat Cubs; Crow-Armstrong's Defense Highlighted

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Chicago Cubs. Despite the loss, Pete Crow-Armstrong's defensive abilities were a key focus. Crow-Armstrong currently leads MLB in Outs Above Average. He has caught 71.4 percent of five-star catch opportunities this season. Statcast data, which goes back to 2016, shows that in his opportunities, no player has made more than 50 percent of their five-star catches, except Crow-Armstrong. In a game against the Dodgers, Crow-Armstrong made an impressive catch robbing Teoscar Hernández of extra bases. He also stole a double from Santiago Espinal in a prior game.
