Scouting Report
Marlins Video
Acquired via trade from the New York Yankees in March 2024
August 2026 update: Cruz's exceptional performance as a 17-year-old in the Florida Complex League compelled the Marlins to trade for him. However, still very raw and wiry, he was woefully overmatched in his first taste of Low-A competition, posting a 46 wRC+ in 81 games before being demoted. He was on a shorter leash in 2025, going 6-for-49 with a 14 wRC+ for the Hammerheads.
