LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 World Showcase
Elmer Rodriguez Cruz is a 2021 RHP with a 6-4 165 lb. frame from Trujillo Alto, PR who attends Leadership Christian Academy. Long and slender build with long arms and legs, extremely projectable physically. High leg lift delivery, gets back over his lower half and coils well, arm and body are on time and he creates big arm speed through release with plus extension. Fastball worked up to 94 mph with big life at times, not much effort to create plus velocity, works fastball to glove side most of the time, held his velocity very well out of the stretch. Curveball had sharp biting action and some depth, can see him shortening it up for a power slider in the future. Quality change up with late dive and good arm speed generated plenty of bad swings. Very high ceiling young pitching talent. Good student, signed with Oregon. Named to the World Showcase Top Prospect List.
