D’Cruze demonstrated a keenness for the spot and great catcher instincts through his interactions with pitchers. Through subtlety and body language and very effective targeting, the buzz around pitchers was that he was the favourite to throw to on the day. His receiving needs work, especially his timing moving up with the low ball. He quietly shifts his weight behind the pitch, which gives strength in his reception; however, he tends to get to extension slightly too early, leading to negative glove movement out of the zone. Once he can clean that up and understand his reception’s timing, his subtle body movements will strengthen his receiving. D’Cruze had the fastest POP on the day at 1.98 and ranged from 1.98-2.10. He showed quick and efficient moves and proper direction to second base, helping to make up for a developing arm to the bag at 69 MPH. D’Cruze is an intelligent catcher, and it will be exciting to see how much better he can get physically over the next few years.
