PCA sets the tone in Mesa as Cubs roll through Cactus League reps
Pete Crow-Armstrong entered camp intent on building off a 30–30 campaign as he gears up for 2026, setting the pace for a spring built on speed and energy in center [1].Early action offered plenty to circle. On March 1 at Sloan Park, the matchup with the White Sox featured standout moments from Alex Bregman, Crow-Armstrong, Nico Hoerner, Ian Happ, Michael Busch and Dansby Swanson as the everyday core knocked off the rust in front of a home crowd [3].By March 22, the Cubs were back at it in Mesa with Cactus League work against the Brewers, another tune-up with regulars getting their reps at Sloan Park [2].
