Minor League Baseball today announced their High-A All-Star Teams for the just completed 2022 season, and two South Bend Cubs, outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and left-hander DJ Herz, were honored by being named to the Midwest League team.
Crow-Armstrong was a first-round pick of the Mets in 2020 out of Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles, but he was traded to the Cubs at the 2021 trade deadline for Javier Báez and Trevor Williams. After a terrific 2022 season, he is now the consensus top prospect in the Cubs system.
The 20-year-old Crow-Armstrong started the season in low-A Myrtle Beach, but was promoted to South Bend after 38 strong games with the Pelicans.
