Juan Cruz, former Arizona Diamondbacks reliever recently signed with the Kansas City Royals. With the addition of Cruz, the Royals bullpen now has another hard throwing right-hander besides Kyle Farnsworth.
Cruz is a flamethrower. Last year he accumulated 71 strikeouts and 87 the year before.
Cruz's velocity is a surprise to batters. He has a 6ft. 2 in. frame yet only weighs 145 pounds. Cruz is able to generate pitches into the upper 90's.
Cruz is tied to a two year contract along with Kyle Farnsworth.
Ever since coming to the royals Cruz has gotten much praise about his velocity and his improvement on his changeup. The consensus seems to be that Juan Cruz is a solid addition to the Royals bullpen and there are high hopes.
