Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Fernando Cruz has thrown 2,647 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Splitter (82mph), Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Slider (89mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (83mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their splitter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, has slight cut action, has some natural sink to it and has below average velo. Their fourseam fastball results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, has less than expected depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2024) has very little depth, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has primarily 12-6 movement.
