In the National League MVP, non-Shohei Ohtani division, Pete Crow-Armstrong is making an incredible case.
You only needed to watch the Chicago Cubs' eighth inning on Tuesday night to know exactly what we're talking about.
It started in the top half, as PCA ranged to left field to make an absurd diving catch to prove he's the best defensive centerfielder in baseball.
"Pete Crow-Armstrong... OH BABY! WHAT A CATCH! UNBELIEVABLE! LOOK WHERE HE FINISHES UP! HE'S IN STRAIGHTAWAY LEFT FIELD! AS SPECTACULAR A PLAY AS YOU WILL SEE!"

And then on the very first pitch of the next half inning, Crow-Armstrong unloaded.
A 452-foot blast to deep right in the Wrigley night is absurd.
First pitch of the next half inning, PCA hits a homer 452 feet off the scoreboard.

PCA is just incredible.
He wasn't supposed to develop power this quickly, but he did. He wasn't supposed to make consistent contact this quickly either, but he is.
Crow-Armstrong has taken the baseball world by storm, and it was all on display in the span of just like 10 or 15 minutes on Tuesday night.
