San Diego Padres
Omar Cruz has thrown 2,466 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Change (82mph), also mixing in a Curve (77mph). He also rarely throws a Slider (82mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their change dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight cut action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2026) has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders.
