Fernando Cruz has thrown 3,810 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Splitter (80mph) and Fourseam Fastball (93mph), also mixing in a Slider (81mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (92mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their splitter comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, has surprising cut action, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters and has some natural sink to it. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2026) sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers.
