Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Oneil Cruz had his first healthy season in the majors and produced a 20/20 season while also picking up dual eligibility by moving to the outfield. The 26-year-old played 146 games, scoring 72 runs, knocking in 76, and slashing .259/.324/.449. The downside of Cruz is his propensity to strikeout (30.2% K-rate). He sits in the 97th percentile or higher in average exit velocity, barrel percentage, hard hit percentage, and bat speed. The talent is there to get to a 25/25 season; just don't expect him to hit much above .250.
