Pete Crow-Armstrong , Carson Kelly and Miguel Amaya have transformed Chicago Cubs' offense.

The 7-8-9 hitters in the team's order are garnering as many headlines as other teams' 1-2-3 hitters.

The Cubs are averaging 6.3 runs per game, nearly a full run higher than the next best team, the New York Yankees .

"This team is a completely different ballclub than the one we saw in Tokyo ," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says.

The Cubs are the first team in MLB history to compile 35 home runs and 35 stolen bases in the first 25 games of a season.

They lead all of baseball in batting average ( .265 ), on-base percentage ( .346 ), stolen bases ( 40 ) and OPS ( .806 ) While the bottom of the order has been the difference-maker, one player near the top is doing his part as well.

"I have no inclination to steal when Carson is hitting," Cubs teammate says.
