Crow-Armstrong played in the away game against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field on the 11th (Korea time) as the fourth center fielder, and led the team to an 8-1 victory by swinging three hits, three RBIs and three runs from four times at bat, including two home runs.
Crow-Armstrong hit Minnesota right-hander Chris Paddack's 93.9-mile fastball on the outside of the first pitch in the top of the third inning with a 1-0 lead, and in the seventh inning with a 6-1 lead, he took the leadoff batter and pulled a 79.2-mile curve that fell to the low course in the middle of left-hander Anthony Misovich's second pitch and put it 425 feet over the right fence.
The PCA, which hit its 24th and 25th home runs this season, achieved its fifth multi-homer game this season. He also hit two solo shots against the St. Louis Cardinals on the 5th. This is the fifth multi-homer game this season and the second this month.
With 27 steals, he achieved 25-25 in 92 individual games, the fourth fastest after Eric Davis (69 games) in 1989, Alfonso Soriano (91) in 2002, and Bobby Bonds (91 games) in 1973.

On July 27 last year, Ohtani broke the 25-25 mark by stealing his 25th base of the season against the Houston Astros. At that time, there were 31 home runs. It took 102 individuals and 104 teams to reach 25-25. This year, Crow - Armstrong has 92 individual games and 93 team games.
In other words, Crow-Armstrong achieved 10 games faster on an individual basis. Then there's no way he shouldn't do 50-50 this year. This is because it depends on how much it maintains and raises the pace of home runs and stolen bases for the rest of the season.
After achieving 25-25 last year, Ohtani played in all 59 games of the remaining season, adding 23 home runs and 34 stolen bases. In particular, 15 stolen bases in August and 16 in September were the driving force behind the 50-50 achievement. However, the home run pace did not decrease. He slowed down to six in July, but made 12 arches in August and 10 arches in September, achieving a comfortable 50-50 record.
It was 150 individual games and 153 team games when he flagged the long-awaited 50-50 against the Miami Marlins on Sept. 20 at Rondipo Park with three home runs and two steals. At the time, local media analyzed that Ohtani exceeded 40-40 and ran with the determination to play 50-50 only. In other words, he raced at the end of the season for a record.

In addition to Crow-Armstrong, outstanding hitters such as Kyle Tucker and Seiya Suzuki are holding out in front of the Cubs, with a 'protection effect'. In other words, the opponent can choose Crow-Armstrong over Tucker or Suzuki. Of course, there are aspects of Tucker and Suzuki being protected by him.
If Crow-Armstrong achieves 50-50, MVP votes are likely to leave Ohtani in large numbers. Even if he hits 40 home runs and 40 steals, Ohtani can be dangerous. Crow-Armstrong is at the top of the list in both offense and defense.
As of the 11th, he tied for fourth in home runs in the NL with a batting average of 0.271 (98 hits in 361 times at bat), fourth in RBIs (70), third in runs scored (67), second in stolen bases, and 12th in OPS (0.869). Both bWAR (5.6) and fWAR (5.1) are in first place, and they also play a role in defense as center field. Statcast's Fielding Run Value is 16, ranking first in all fielders.
