In a baseball world where records are always a measure of greatness, the Chicago Cubs have just set an unimaginable milestone that no team in Major League Baseball (MLB) history has ever achieved. With the explosive performance of four names: Michael Busch, Jared Young Tucker, Seiya Suzuki and Pete Crow-Armstrong, the Cubs became the first team in MLB history to have 4 players with OPS+ of 145 or higher in the same season (with a minimum condition of 500 plate appearances).
The numbers speak for themselves: OPS+ of 145 or higher
OPS+ (On-base Plus Slugging Plus) is a measure of a player’s offensive performance, adjusted for stadium and league average. With a 100 base, an OPS+ of 145 or higher means a player is playing better than 45% of the MLB average. That’s rare enough – but four on the same team, in the same season? Unheard of. Until now.
The “Devastating” Four
Michael Busch – the rookie prospect who’s blossoming into a superstar.
Jared Young Tucker – the man who brings power and consistency to every pitch.
Seiya Suzuki – the former Japan star who’s been getting better and better at playing.
Pete Crow-Armstrong – the gem from the youth system who’s becoming a phenomenon across the league.
Each has his own style, his own strengths, but all four are forming one of the most formidable offensive lines in Cubs history – and MLB.
History in your hands?
More than just individual record-breaking numbers, the Cubs are now climbing the National League standings, challenging the most formidable contenders. With this devastating form, experts are starting to ask: Are the Chicago Cubs entering a new golden age?
Fans at Wrigley Field are reliving the glorious years when the Cubs broke the “curse” in 2016. But this year, they may be witnessing something even greater – a new historical journey.
More than just a surprise, this is a turning point
If a team has one superstar, it’s remarkable. If they have two, it’s hopeful. But when four stars shine at a historic level, it’s a sign of an era. And the Chicago Cubs of the 2025 season could be the name at the forefront of that revolution.
MLB, beware: The wind at Wrigley isn’t just blowing sand anymore — it’s bringing a storm called the Cubs.
