Pete Crow-Armstrong's historic 2026 regular season has driven overwhelming trader consensus for the NL MVP, with the Cubs center fielder posting a .280/.372/.570 slash line, 45 home runs, 41 stolen bases, 119 runs scored, and MLB-leading WAR totals around 9.8-10.6 while playing all 162 games and earning Gold Glove honors. He joined the 40-40 club, led the majors in runs, homers, and total bases, and paced the NL in slugging, OPS, and OPS+. Shohei Ohtani finished a distant second after an injury-shortened campaign that limited his two-way production and overall value. With the award essentially decided, the only remaining variables that could theoretically shift final tallies involve late ballot nuances or unforeseen procedural issues, though none appear plausible at this stage.
