Players to Watch: Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
Chicago Cubs
Pete Crow-Armstrong — CF. Crow-Armstrong has turned into the offensive engine of the Cubs’ lineup, hitting .281 with 33 home runs and 83 RBIs. His .559 slugging percentage adds real power to an on-base profile built on a .379 mark.
Seiya Suzuki — RF. With 22 home runs and 74 RBIs to go with a .270 average, Suzuki gives the Cubs a second bat capable of changing a game in one swing. His .479 slugging percentage backs up the power numbers, and his .363 on-base percentage adds patience to the profile.
Nico Hoerner — 2B. As the table-setter atop Chicago’s order, Hoerner pairs a .263 average with 21 stolen bases. He has still found some pop, adding 7 home runs and 58 RBIs, enough to show he isn’t purely a slap-and-run hitter.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Gabriel Moreno — C. Behind the plate, Moreno has quietly turned in a strong season at the plate, hitting .306 with a .384 on-base percentage. His .467 slugging percentage rounds out a complete offensive game for a catcher.
Nolan Arenado — 3B. Twenty-one home runs and 65 RBIs from Arenado have kept Arizona’s lineup dangerous even as the team has slipped in the NL West standings. His .241 average is the one soft spot in an otherwise productive season at third base.
Corbin Carroll — RF. Carroll gives the Diamondbacks a rare blend of speed and power, hitting .253 with 18 home runs and 18 stolen bases. His .493 slugging percentage and 16 triples show an ability to turn any swing into extra bases.
