Robert
Cross

Cross is a 6-foot, 200-pound RHP/3B from Washington HS. He hit .395 as a sophomore with 27 RBI and 23 runs scored.

2/15/15 Cross sat 80-82 out of a high 3/4 arm slot with some hip coil to his fluid delivery. The 6-foot, 200-pound junior topped at 84 mph with some arm side run and late life to his fastball. Cross also commanded a 67 mph curveball with 11/5 rotation and a 70 mph changeup thrown at fastball arm speed with some late fade.

2/14/15 Cross is a 6-foot, 200-pound two-way prospect that ran a 7.51 60-yard dash to open his evaluation phase working out with corner infielders during first day action of the two day event. The physical third baseman showed athletic actions at the hot corner with a soft glove hand. Cross displayed the ability to make plays on the move while showcasing throws of 74 mph from several arm angles across the diamond.

The junior was most impressive with a bat in his hand. Starting from a square stance the left-handed hitter demonstrated a feel for the barrel and a strong lower half while consistently barreling the baseball during a solid round of batting practice. Cross has a tendency to get to his front side a bit early but when he stays behind the baseball power potential is evident with a bat exit velocity of 81 mph.
