    View Draft Report
    Rodriguez-Cruz is a projection lefthander committed to Oregon who has a long, loose arm action and a fastball in the 88-91 mph range. He should be able to add velocity as he fills out his frame and scouts also think he needs work with his breaking ball to get to an average secondary. He’s one of the youngest players in the class and will still be 17 on draft day, but he is immensely athletic and is a good strike thrower currently. There’s a lot of projection here, but solid indicators as well.
