Ronny Cruz
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Cruz has the ingredients of a real everyday infielder if the hit tool settles into even average territory, because the athletic base, shortstop actions, and power potential all give him a legitimate path to value. The floor is dragged down by the swing-and-miss risk and the possibility that the bat is merely playable rather than impact-oriented, which would put more pressure on the defense. If the bat matures, he can be a solid regular at shortstop; if the approach remains fringy and the contact issues deepen, he settles into a second-division or utility outcome. Given his age and physical upside, there is still meaningful projection left, but the margin for error is not wide.
