What a way to start a MLB career!

Cubs top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong smacked a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning to put the Cubs up 3-1 against the Astros on Thursday afternoon.

It was his first big league hit, and it traveled 396 feet with a travel velocity of 107.2 MPH.

What a life PCA has given the Cubs, as he is needed with the recent injury to standout outfielder Cody Bellinger.

Field view:

Only time I’ve recorded a pitch all afternoon. Sometimes it works out. Pop the champagne @BinnysBev because PCA just went YARD!
