Pete Crow-Armstrong #52 of the Chicago Cubs crashes into the outfield wall as he makes a catch in the first inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on September 12, 2023 in Denver, Colorado.

DENVER — Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong reached the warning track and leaped just before the wall. He squeezed his glove, securing the ball before landing and spinning into the padding. His hat flew off.

After robbing the Rockies’ Nolan Jones of an extra-base hit in the first inning Tuesday, he immediately threw the ball to second base to make sure Kris Bryant didn’t advance.
