Chicago Cubs
Pete Crow-Armstrong — CF. The Cubs’ center fielder is hitting .257 and reaching base at a .338 clip, giving the top of the order a steady presence. His .444 slugging percentage shows he brings more than table-setting to the lineup, with extra-base pop from the leadoff role.
Ian Happ — LF. Happ is the Cubs’ primary power source from left field, leading the group with 15 home runs and driving in 36 runs. His .231 average sits below his career norm, but the home run total keeps pitchers honest every time he steps in.
Michael Busch — 1B. Working out of first base, Busch leads the Cubs with 38 RBIs and chips in 7 home runs of his own. His .251 average puts him in the middle of the order as a reliable run producer behind the bigger bats.
