12/10/2021 - Baseball Factory Academic All-American Tournament Cruz only showed on the mound and has improved his baseball abilities at the Academic All-American showcase. On the mound, delivery is sound and repeatable allowing his arm action to work well to the plate. Arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 82 mph. He shows two-pitch mix with his fastball showing good arm side run / sink. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with late / sharp break and shows as a quality pitch that will get outs. Control is well above average as he attacks hitters and throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program.
