Why does Pete Crow-Armstrong struggle against Jacob Misiorowski? @Plesac19 explains ahead of tonight's showdown between Via @MLBNetwork on X

What happened: The two NL Central stars are set to meet Wednesday night. Crow-Armstrong has reached base only via two walks across 12 career plate appearances in the matchup.

Why it matters: The regular season's final month raises the value of each intradivision plate appearance. The matchup tests whether Crow-Armstrong can adjust against a pitcher who has repeatedly missed his bat.

By the numbers: Eight strikeouts in 12 plate appearances give Crow-Armstrong a 66.7% strikeout rate against Misiorowski. He owns a .167 on-base percentage with no hits, extra-base hits or RBI in the matchup.

What to watch: Watch whether Crow-Armstrong changes his approach and records his first hit against Misiorowski.
