by Matthew Adam | Pirates Correspondent | Tue, Jul 23rd 7:10am EDT
Oneil Cruz went 1-for-3 with an RBI and two stolen bases in the Pirates' 2-1 win over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance was a mixed bag, showcasing his speed but also highlighting his ongoing struggles with contact, evidenced by his strikeout in the game. Cruz's ability to swipe bases, adding two more to his season tally, continues to be a valuable asset for fantasy managers needing speed. However, his high strikeout rate and modest .252 batting average temper expectations. His power-speed combination remains intriguing, but consistency at the plate is crucial for him to be a top fantasy asset.
