PROSPECT: Felipe De La Cruz, SP, New York Mets
CURRENT LEVEL: High-A
2024 STATS: Nine G, Nine GS, 3-4, 40.1 IP, 2.68 ERA, 2.98 FIP, 11.16 K/9, 3.57 BB/9, 0.45 HR/9, 43.0% GB%, .340 BABIP
ANALYSIS: De La Cruz is a hard-throwing left-hander who has flirted with landing his fastball in the upper 90s. He records plenty of strikeouts and typically keeps his walk rate at a reasonable level. At the moment, though, his high velocity and limited repertoire project best out of the bullpen. Unless he can add a strong second (or third) offering, his ceiling is likely a mid-range MLB reliever.

With that said, De La Cruz showcased his skills and stamina last week. He struck out a whopping 13 batters over six innings on Saturday, allowing just two hits, one walk, and zero runs along the way. He earned his second consecutive win and continues pushing for a promotion to Double-A.
