Cubs Outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong Joins Team USA for WBC

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong will represent Team USA in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, leading a three-player Cubs delegation. Coming off a "marvelous" 2025 season where his stellar defense contributed significantly to his 6.0 bWAR and 5.4 fWAR, expectations are high for 2026. However, he needs to improve in-zone contact and plate discipline. Projections anticipate around 25 homers and 85+ RBIs, with fans hoping for more consistency throughout the season. He is already working in Mesa, Arizona, preparing for the upcoming campaign.
