Kiermaier, who first noticed Crow-Armstrong in the minors, was blown away by his speed and arm—and even more so after seeing him play in person. Crow-Armstrong’s defense has only improved since 2024, earning him a Gold Glove last year and setting records for making impossible catches, including surpassing Kiermaier for most “five-star” plays. Numbers back up the eye test: he leads all outfielders in ground coverage and routinely makes plays with less than a 25% chance of success. Kiermaier, now retired and coaching the next wave of defensive stars, beams with pride and can’t help but wish he still held those records—because Crow-Armstrong is simply in a league of his own.
