Scouting report
De La Cruz has a right field prospect toolkit straight out of central casting -- plus raw power, plus arm, average underway speed, some contact issues at present -- and a year of 2019 DSL statistical performance arguably derived from his burly physical maturity. De La Cruz's 2019 Trackman data is very strong (it's still on The Board), especially for his age, but the look he had at 2020 instructs was one scouts are skeptical of given just how big he is for his age and where his lack of athleticism will likely push him on the defensive spectrum. He has the power to clear the corner outfield bar but will need to perform from a contact perspective to start to satisfy the industry. (Fall Instructional League)
