Oneil Cruz has a rocket for an arm, can run like a gazelle and launches the ball off his bat at well over 100mph, but did you know he has another talent?
Speaking with the MLB Network on Wednesday, Cruz said in Spanish his hidden talent is singing, particularly with Hoy Park.
Alanna Rizzo of MLB Network asked Cruz about the song and he started to sing and “I will always love you”, written by Dolly Parton and made famous by Whitney Houston.
Watch:
Cruz also told Rizzo that the point of baseball is “to have fun” and that he loves the game.
The top Pirates prospect has been turning heads not only in Pittsburgh but has been also gaining national attention with his unique talents.
While it’s not known what type of player Cruz will end up being in the Major Leagues, but if he lives up to his potential, he will be one of the faces of baseball sooner than later.
And Cruz’s personality and fun-loving nature is just the type of person baseball needs in an ambassador.
