The 99th percentile outcome is happening right now for Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs. Unlocking the center fielder's power potential, to go with his speed and defense, is turning him into one of the sport's most dynamic players. As the son of a Hollywood family, he also seems right out of central casting, an engaging star to power a first-place team and the Wrigley Field machine.

CHICAGO - Tuesday night was supposed to be about youngster Moisés Ballesteros making his MLB debut. The 21-year-old designated hitter and catcher was called up after Ian Happ was placed on the injured list with a left oblique strain. An offense-first player, Ballesteros has mashed in a month-plus at Triple A and earned this promotion. The choice to call up Ballesteros was also an indictment of the play of veteran Justin Turner so far this season.

The Chicago Cubs' solid start to the season has earned multiple players plenty of headlines. Pete Crow-Armstrong has quickly become a national star and added to his status with a tying home run Sunday in an eventual 6-2 road loss to the New York Mets. Kyle Tucker has slowed after a red-hot start, but he's the star bat the lineup so desperately needed. Even Matthew Boyd has shone as the Cubs' top two starters - Justin Steele and Shota Imanaga - have been felled by injuries.

Live from New York on Saturday night, Cade Horton is expected to debut as the Chicago Cubs' most-anticipated pitching prospect in a generation. It's not quite to the level of Mark Prior, the No. 2 pick in the 2001 draft who made it to Wrigley Field less than a year later. But in Horton, the Cubs again, finally, see a homegrown pitcher with a wow factor. Getting Horton back onto the fast track became a team effort. For all the hype, Horton had a 2024 season to forget.
