The Baseball Writers' Association of America released the voting results Thursday, Nov. 12, showing the Cubs center fielder captured all 30 first-place votes.\n\nThe honor caps a season in which the 24-year-old, listed at 6 feet and 184 pounds, turned himself into the game's most complete player. He led the majors with 45 home runs while also leading every fielder at every position with 26 outs above average. He topped the NL with a .570 slugging percentage and a .943 OPS. He also stole 41 bases, making him the seventh player in major league history to reach the 40/40 club of home runs and steals in a single season.\n\nCrow-Armstrong's rise came after a slow start to 2026, and it happened in just his third full major league season. By the stretch run, \"MVP!\" chants were following him at Wrigley Field and on the road. The unanimous result means he beat out every other contender for the award, including Shohei Ohtani, who had been in the conversation.","published_at":"2026-11-13T01:50:23.956445+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Pete Crow-Armstrong is one of the greatest NL MVPs in history.
