Chicago — In a shock that shocked Cubs fans, Pete Crow-Armstrong, the team’s young star, was removed from the list to receive the 2025 Silver Slugger, giving the glory to Kyle Tucker. “I may not have won this time, but I’m not going to stop. The Silver Slugger will be mine soon,” Crow-Armstrong pledged, sending the MLB community into a frenzy.
The 2025 season saw a spectacular breakthrough for Pete Crow-Armstrong. The young Chicago Cubs player led in almost every major offensive metric, from hits, home runs, RBIs, stolen bases to slugging percentage, but was overlooked for the Silver Slugger Award, which went to Kyle Tucker – a player who was widely considered to have had the worst season among the six nominees.
The incident caused a fierce debate among MLB fans. Many were upset that Crow-Armstrong deserved the award more than anyone else, especially since he also won the Gold Glove for his outstanding defensive performance. “Unbelievable. The numbers speak for themselves, Crow-Armstrong should have won,” one fan shared on Twitter, prompting the hashtag #JusticeForPCA to go viral.
Despite the disappointment, Crow-Armstrong did not let the shock shake his resolve. In a strong statement, he said: “I may not have won this time, but I will not stop. My journey has just begun. I will continue to train, improve myself, and the Silver Slugger will be mine. This is my promise.”
Many MLB experts also expressed their support for Crow-Armstrong. “He had a phenomenal season, both offensively and defensively. It is a big controversy that he was overlooked,” said famous commentator Buster Olney. “But the important thing is that Pete has proven his ability and mentality, and the Silver Slugger will come to him.”
For Crow-Armstrong, this shock is not a failure but a motivation to continue to develop and prove himself. Cubs fans around the world are closely watching, believing that next season, this young star will not only conquer the Silver Slugger but also become a symbol of the team.
Even Tucker, the winner, was reminded of the fierce competition: “PCA is on his way to becoming an all-around great player. Opponents can’t take him lightly,” one social media comment read.
Despite being “robbed” of the award, Crow-Armstrong still shines with an unyielding spirit. His story is an example of perseverance, determination and passion, reminding everyone that in baseball, it’s not just the results but the journey and effort that counts.
The MLB community has its eyes on Pete Crow-Armstrong, and perhaps the 2026 season will be the moment he truly takes the Silver Slugger, returning the favor for an extraordinary season.
