With Norco already boasting a loaded program, there looks to be even more talent on its way in the presence of Gavin Cruz. Compact in build with wiry present strength, Cruz is a good mover across the board who clocked an impressive 7.14 60-yard sprint time. But, the athleticism in his profile really showed up during the defensive portion of the day as he moves with quiet grace when receiving pitches during bullpens and then has easy natural arm speed with advanced feel for his transfer/footwork to post a 77 MPH C velocity with 1.97-2.1 pop times across the throwing portion of the defensive workout. He rounds out what is a strong present foundation with a strong offensive profile that shows present hit and emerging impact. Cruz peaked at 91.3 MPH on his EV while drilling a 340' pull side HR during his batting practice rounds, while averaging 82.4 MPH. His angles at contact can improve as he matures, but the barrel awareness and power potential are there.
