Watch: Cubs Top Prospect Hits Booming HR for Iowa

In this story:
Chicago Cubs top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong extended his hitting streak at Triple-A Iowa with a massive home run on Tuesday night against Omaha.
Crow-Armstrong was called up to Iowa last week after a standout start at Double-A Tennessee.
Known as one of the top fielding prospects in all of baseball, the 21-year-old showed off the bat, hitting his second home run since his promotion. But, this one went to dead center field and traveled 440 feet. With the home run, he extended his hitting streak to four games.

Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with an RBI and run. He also drew two walks and struck out once while batting in the No. 7 spot and playing center field.
In six games with Iowa he’s slashing .174/.321/.478/.799 with two home runs and three RBI.
With Tennessee, where he slashed .289/.371/.527/.898 with 14 home runs and 60 RBI.
The former first-round pick of the New York Mets in 2020 out of Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles joined the Cubs at the 2021 trade deadline when they sent shortstop Javier Baez, right-handed pitcher Trevor Williams and cash to the Mets for his rights.
The Iowa Cubs continue their series with the Omaha Storm Chasers on Wednesday.
