He’s not too bad of a hitter at all, but whoever drafts him probably has him just pitch bc being a two-way guy super difficult

Thank you! I saw Kruz in Long Beach, you can’t build pitchers a whole lot better than that guy is built

Thank you, Joe, that means a ton to me!

I hadn’t come across a starter pack with this theme yet, so I made one

A sleeper 1:1 pick for 2025, OSU’s Aiva Arquette brings all the tools you look for in a potential star. Plus power with hitterish tendencies and contact, and he puts on a clinic on the dirt. The UW transfer might stick at SS w/25 bombs. Looks the part of an impact big leaguer. Top 10 player for 2025
