Patrick Cruz  
Catcher | Free Agents

Hitting
The book on Cruz is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Cruz always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Cruz isn't a fluid catcher, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. He generally takes one base at a time, though he'll take advantage if an outfielder gets lackadaisical.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Cruz to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
