2/15 - Cruz stands an impressive 6-foot-2, 200-pounds with an athletic, pro-size body. From the outfield he moves extremely athletic, can track balls with ease – evidenced by his 6.63 60 yard dash. Highly athletic prospect, Cruz keeps the ball in front of his body, uses a cow hop, transfer is slow but hand speed is quick and arm is becoming more fluid. 84 mph arm strength from the OF with good carry. At the plate Cruz carries a big stick, and swings like a grown man. His 92 mph exit velocity only tells half the story, during bp he put on an impressive display attacking the ball out in front. Short path to the ball, slightly inclined path, producing power. Prospect on the climb.
12/21 - Cruz stands an impressive 6-foot-2, 200-pounds with an athletic, above average body. At the plate his setup is wide and relaxed. On the pitch he strides forward, slight open toe, drives his hands powerfully inside the ball (evidenced from his 87 mph exit velocity with wood-bat) short path, barrel slightly inclined through the zone, explodes on the ball out in front. He uses great extension with a high balanced finish. Next-level with the bat. From the outfield he fields the ball glove side, clean transfer. He uses a long-back arm action, needs some cleaning up, throws from an over-the-top slot, arm strength at 83 mph with carry. Cruz is highly athletic, ran a 6.78 60 yard dash, he is still a bit raw but all the high-end tools are there. Chance to be a big-time prospect.
