Pete Crow-Armstrong Joins MLB’s Exclusive 40-40 Club

Pete Crow-Armstrong has reached one of baseball’s rarest single-season markers, becoming a member of the 40-40 club after recording 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases.

The combination demands power, speed and the opportunity to stay in the lineup long enough to deliver both. Crow-Armstrong now stands among the Major League players who have produced at least 40 homers and 40 steals in the same season.

A rare two-way offensive season

  1. Crow-Armstrong reached 40 home runs.
  2. He also collected 40 stolen bases.
  3. Those totals placed him in MLB’s 40-40 club.

It is a milestone built from two different parts of the game: the damage done when a hitter gets a pitch to drive, and the pressure created once he reaches base. Crow-Armstrong has now put both on his season line.
