So Far, Breaking Balls are Breaking Oneil Cruz
Just 141 plate appearances into his rookie season, Oneil Cruz is hitting .218/.255/.451. On any given day, he can look like a future Hall of Famer or someone who needs more time at Triple-A.

Cruz is a huge talent and one of the most interesting players in baseball, but he’ll need to produce more to keep everyone’s attention.
