Oneil Cruz shows glimmer of hope in Pirates' rout of Mets
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sat, Jul 6th 9:18am EDT
Oneil Cruz went 2-for-4 with a walk and scored a run in the Pirates' dominant 14-2 victory over the Mets.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not contributing to the RBI column, Cruz's ability to reach base multiple times and score was a positive takeaway from the game. His season-long struggles with a .243 batting average and high strikeout rate (0.321) continue to be a concern for fantasy managers. However, his performance in this game might hint at potential improvements, though his inconsistency this season suggests caution in expecting significant turnaround. His modest power numbers with 12 homers and a .309 wOBA indicate some level of productivity, but he remains a risky play in most fantasy formats.
