Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs reaches the 40-40 mark by stealing his 40th base of the season and finishing with at least 40 home runs. Multiple outlets describe the milestone as a rare achievement that places him among the most exclusive single-season performers in MLB.
CBS Sports and Fox Sports both frame the moment as part of an outstanding Cubs season, noting that only a small number of players have previously combined power and speed at that level. CBS Sports adds historical context, stating that just six other players have recorded at least 40 steals and 40 home runs in the same season across MLB history. Fox Sports similarly emphasizes that Crow-Armstrong becomes the seventh player in league history to post a 40-40 season, highlighting the rarity of the feat.
While the coverage differs slightly in emphasis—CBS includes additional historical framing, and Fox focuses on the “seventh player” designation—both accounts agree on the essential outcome: Crow-Armstrong is credited with a 40-40 season for the Cubs.
