As the Cubs prepare to face off against the Marlins at loanDepot Park, all eyes are on Pete Crow-Armstrong, the dynamic center fielder for the Cubbies. Over the past three games, Crow-Armstrong has been a standout performer, showcasing his prowess both at bat and in the field.

On the mound, Brad Keller has been delivering stellar performances with an ERA of 0.0 across multiple appearances. His control and precision have kept opposing batters at bay, making him a formidable presence in the bullpen. Julian Merryweather also contributed significantly with an ERA of 9.0 but managed to secure crucial outs when needed.

Dansby Swanson's performance cannot be overlooked either. The shortstop displayed exceptional hitting skills with an OPS of 2.467 in one game, highlighting his ability to drive runs and change the game's momentum single-handedly. Nico Hoerner's consistent batting average of .500 over three games adds depth to the Cubs' lineup, providing reliable support alongside Swanson.
