LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 South Top Prospect Showcase
Alec Cruz is a 2017 SS/2B, OF with a 6-1 150 lb. frame from Victoria, TX who attends Victoria East High School. Medium, athletic frame with square shoulders and a lean, projectable build with room to fill throughout. Ran a 6.99 60-yard dash. Primary middle infielder, shows athleticism to overall actions, moves well to the ball, fields out front and with a wide base, quick transfer into a compact arm action, gets on top and shows nice carry and strength across the diamond, accurate throws, has comfort in throwing from multiple arm slots. Also pitched, similar compact arm action through the back working to a tight three-quarters release. Short and on line stride down the mound, works slight across body and helps create cut action to glove side on fastball that topped 79 mph. Short 11-5 curveball at 68 mph, flashes depth, induced weak ground ball contact and stayed off of barrels. Threw strikes with both pitches. Righthanded hitter, begins with a wide base and a high hand set and back elbow in the box. Full swing path coming through the zone with quickness to hands, gets the barrel to the ball and shows a line drive swing plane. Simple load at start, torques well and generates bat speed through the zone, created steady contact to the middle and pull side parts of the field, nice sound coming off the barrel when squared. Very good student.
