    View Draft Report
    Cranz is a 6-foot-3, 207-pound righthanded reliever who posted a 1.63 ERA with 59 strikeouts to just 12 walks in 49.2 innings. Cranz features a dynamic one-two punch in the form of a low-to-mid-90s fastball that averaged almost 22 inches of ride and a sharp mid-80s slider that routinely flashed two-plane break and generated a 49% miss rate. He could move quickly in a bullpen role thanks to his loud two-pitch mix and solid control.
