The wait to get Oneil Cruz to the majors took months. His performance made it worth it.
In his first game with the Pirates this season -- and third in the majors overall -- Cruz showed all of his tools, setting new team and league highs in exit velocity, sprint speed and arm strength.
"He can affect the game in a lot of ways and we saw it tonight," Derek Shelton said.
Cruz showed he can do that at the game's highest level, and with his talent level, he can set records/
“Whatever’s gonna get broken is gonna get broken," Cruz jokingly said through interpreter Mike Gonzalez.
