Cruz Banuelas, Prestonwood Christian Academy (TX), 2026
Positional Profile: C/3B RHH/C…will continue to add strength. Like the upside to bat/power combo with adjustments. Defensively solid catcher showing solid arm strength. Good player, fun to watch develop.
Body: 6-1, 199-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength in future.
Hit: RHH. Lands slightly closed after stride in good position to hit. Rotational back foot that is late getting rotated losing impact. Would like to back foot rotated fully at point of contact. Gets stuck. Body lays back at point of contact, would like to see body more upright. I like the approach. Not afraid to swing the bat, old school approach, swing hard in case you hit it. Barrel/hands in good position to launch. Some minor length to swing. Uphill swing, slight barrel dump on balls away. Pull hitter. Definite opportunities for improvement. 71.7 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 94 max exit velocity, averaged 86.8 mph. 357' max distance. Aggressive hitter. Solid approach to hit. Swing adjustment opportunities present to increase line drive contact. Like the upside to bat/power combo.
Arm: RH. C-79 mph. Arm works well, shows arm quickness, carry to throws.
Defense: 1.94-2.04 pop times. Receives well, good framing, solid footwork setting to throw. Shows ability to block balls in dirt. Nice job of handling pitchers in games.
ATH: 7.28 runner in the 60. 1.75 and 4.02 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Hard runner. Moves well. 24.20 max vertical.

Cruz Banuelas, Prestonwood Christian Academy (TX), 2026
Positional Profile: C/3B
Body: 6-1, 199-pounds. Good build/frame with room to add strength.
Hit: RHH. Feet start shoulder width apart with weight evenly distributed, short/quick weight shift into back leg to initiate swing. Never gets fully loaded into back leg. Limited use of lower 1/2 in swing, back foot gets stuck rotating, late rotation. Also, seems to be caught in between on rotational back foot or linear movement to back foot. Upper torso falls back in swing hindering ability to impact baseball. Opportunities for adjustments. Hands start in good position, barrel slightly wrapped to start creating some length. Solid path of hands/barrel into zone, shows bat/hand speed. Can shorten swing with initial start of barrel. Overall, nice swing. 71.1 mph bat speed with 10 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 79.9 mph. 333' max distance. Pull side power will develop. Length to swing, hinders contact consistency.
Arm: RH. C-77 mph.
Defense: 1.97-2.02 pop times.
ATH: 7.17 runner in the 60. 1.81 and 4.06 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard, avg quickness to start. 26.80 max vertical.
