Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong All-Star voting update is getting disrespectful originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

While the Chicago Cubs might not be leading the division, and in cruise control, as it looked like they could've been earlier this season, they're still not a bad team.

One of the reasons why is Pete Crow-Armstrong, who's having another incredible season both offensively and defensively. However, after being a major snub in the first wave of All-Star voting, how is PCA doing after the second wave of voting?

Well, as Phillies Tailgate shared on Twitter/x, Crow-Armstrong is not only a massive snub right now, but his voting position on the ballot is getting disrespectful.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong gets disrespectful All-Star voting update​


Among NL outfielders, Crow-Armstrong placed in 14th during last week's voting update, and one week later, a week in which he hit .550 with a 1.900 OPS with four homers, seven RBIs, and continued to play solid defense, he's... still in 14th.

Crow-Armstrong has received 590,136 All-Star votes this season, which has him nearly 400,000 votes shy of an All-Star finalist spot.

Somehow, Teoscar Hernandez, Kyle Tucker, Mauricio Dubon, Jackson Chourio, and Justin Crawford have received more votes than PCA this season.

Crow-Armstrong has 4.6 bWAR this season, which is the most among all position players in baseball this season. And yet, he's 14th in All-Star voting.

He has 16 homers, 40 R BIs, 18 stolen bases, 12 doubles, four triples, a solid .283 batting average, and an .883 OPS.

There is no world in which Crow-Armstrong, with his elite defense, base running, and offensive production, shouldn't be an All-Star.

But it's not just that he's not a finalist. James Wood, Jordan Walker, and Corbin Carroll all deserve an All-Star nod, and none are finalists. The issue with why PCA is being disrespected more than anyone else is the sheer difference in voting share.

Crow-Armstrong should be one of the top vote-getters among all outfielders. And yet, he's somehow 14th overall. He has a little under 41,000 vote-lead on Adolis Garcia, who has an under .600 OPS and is out for the season.

The Crow-Armstrong All-Star voting update is getting disrespectful, as there's zero reason why he should be so low on the NL outfielder ranking this season for fan votes.
