“Getting Really Ugly Now”: Pete Crow-Armstrong’s ‘Slump’ Highlighted By MLB Analyst Amid Down-To-The-Wire MVP Race With Shohei Ohtani

MLB analyst Dan Clark pointed out that Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has been struggling at the plate recently, with only three hits in his last 32 at-bats. Clark expressed his concern on social media, saying, "Pete Crow-Armstrong's slump is getting really ugly now." This slump comes at a crucial time in the NL MVP race, as Crow-Armstrong and Dodgers' star Shohei Ohtani are neck-and-neck in the competition.

Ohtani, who has been dealing with a left knee issue, is also in a slump but may still be able to capitalize on Armstrong's struggles. Both players are projected to have nearly identical offensive statistics for the season, making the MVP race extremely close.
