 The new pitcher is the 34-year-old right-hander Fernando Cruz. He has one of the nastiest splitters in baseball. This year, opponents are 7 for 78. That's an 0-90 batting average with 56 strikeouts and 78 at-bats against his splitter. So the game plan is don't miss the fastball. I mean, his ERA is 4.65, so you can do damage on his fastball. Tough to do it on his splitter. He also throws a cutter.
