Oneil Cruz homers, but Pirates fall short against Cubs
by Craig Castriano | Pirates Correspondent | Mon, May 13th 10:19am EDT
Oneil Cruz went 1-for-5 with a home run and two runs scored in the Pirates' 5-4 loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo blast contributed to his season tally, bringing his home run count to seven and RBI total to 17. Despite the power display, Cruz's high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to be areas of concern for fantasy managers. His .265 batting average and .323 wOBA are decent, but the lack of consistent contact and on-base skills cap his overall fantasy ceiling. Owners should value him for his power potential, but temper expectations given his current profile.
