Asdrubal Cruz
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. Because he can't overpower hitters, Cruz has to fool them instead. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.
Defense & Hitting His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Cruz is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cruz has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cruz as a pinch-runner on occasion.
