Players to Watch: Chicago Cubs vs. Baltimore Orioles
Chicago Cubs
Pete Crow-Armstrong — CF. Pete Crow-Armstrong holds down center field for the Cubs and has turned into their most complete hitter this season, batting .296 with 21 home runs and 52 RBIs. His .386 on-base percentage and .542 slugging percentage both point to a bat that gets on base and does damage once it’s there.
Dansby Swanson — SS. At shortstop, Dansby Swanson has quietly become Chicago’s top run producer, driving in 58 runs to go with 16 home runs. His .211 average is a reminder that his value this season has come from power and RBI production rather than steady contact.
Alex Bregman — 3B. Veteran third baseman Alex Bregman brings a steadying presence to the Cubs’ infield, hitting .240 with 7 home runs and 35 RBIs. He’s reached base at a .337 clip, giving Chicago a table-setter type bat lower in the lineup.
Baltimore Orioles
Taylor Ward — LF. Left fielder Taylor Ward has been one of the more consistent bats in Baltimore’s lineup, hitting .254 with a .382 on-base percentage. His .353 slugging percentage points to a contact-oriented approach rather than a power-first profile.
Pete Alonso — 1B. First baseman Pete Alonso remains Baltimore’s primary power threat, launching 20 home runs and driving in 62 runs this season. He’s hitting .250 on the year, giving the Orioles a middle-of-the-order bat capable of changing a game with one swing.
Gunnar Henderson — SS. Twenty-five-year-old shortstop Gunnar Henderson has added 16 home runs and 40 RBIs to Baltimore’s attack this season. His .399 slugging percentage outpaces his .220 batting average, underscoring an extra-base-hit profile even in a season where the average hasn’t caught up.
