Pete Crow-Armstrong (24), the Chicago Cubs center fielder, is adjusting his approach to the game this season, inspired by a conversation with a Little League parent about emotional conduct. Known for his passionate displays, Crow-Armstrong has toned down his reactions after reflecting on the impact of his behavior on young fans. Despite a .567 OPS over his last 75 games dating back to August 1, he remains one of the Cubs' key players, having signed a six-year, $115 million contract earlier this spring. Crow-Armstrong's recent performance has been inconsistent, but he looks to regain his form during an upcoming series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he previously excelled. He recalls a pivotal moment last season when he hit two home runs in a critical game against the Dodgers, which helped him find his rhythm. Cubs manager Craig Counsell acknowledges Crow-Armstrong's potential for hot and cold streaks but emphasizes his solid defensive skills and baserunning. Crow-Armstrong's improved chase rate and recent at-bats against left-handed pitchers provide hope for a turnaround, and he aims to hold himself accountable while contributing to the team's success.
