Big-time players make big-time plays. And Pete Crow-Armstrong is a big-time player.
Tonight, Team Italy was absolutely walloping Team USA 8-1 in the World Baseball Classic 8-1, when the Cubs own PCA launched an absolute moonshot homer to cut their deficit in half. And since he is representing both the Cubs and America, I am one proud fan at the moment … especially because even if Team USA still loses this game, the gap by which they lose (which was approaching enormous) could end up sinking their WBC hopes because of a tie-breaker.
Succintly explained by Jeff Passan:
Italy is mauling Team USA. It's 8-0 in the top of the sixth, and because of tiebreaker rules that factor in runs allowed, the Americans have put themselves in a position where if Mexico beats Italy tomorrow, the U.S. could find itself out of the WBC before the knockout round.

Pete Crow-Armstrong LONG GONE
Pro-tip: Don’t hang a changeup dead-center to PCA … especially not on a big stage.

— World Baseball Classic (@WBCBaseball) March 11, 2026The Cubs’ young center fielder and speedster had a rough second half in 2025 (after an MVP first half, mind you), but has about as much pure talent as any Cub in recent memory. I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for him. And us.
Here’s another fun angle:
