I’m going to celebrate having real baseball to discuss by dedicating another P2Daily to another Pittsburgh Pirates Spring Training win.
Specifically, can we focus on how in the hell did Oneil Cruz do this a second time?
That’s twice now Cruz has hit a home run from his knee, with the first one being a monster blast for his first MLB home run. This is an insane level of power that really makes me think a lot of prospect evaluators have been asking the wrong questions about Cruz. He gets compared to every other tall, toolsy player, and we only focus on the things he can’t do, or might not be able to do, while ignoring the things he can do really, really well — like hit a baseball really, really hard.
