Today we will look at Lake County Captain pitcher Kelvin De La Cruz. This guy is ripping up Single A with a 4-2 record with a 1.57 ERA in 51 2/3 innings. Kelvin idolizes fellow countryman Fausto Carmona, who are both from the Dominican Republic. He boasts a 94 MPH fastball to go along with a change and a curve. The amazing thing is his dominance at the level has occurred at such a young age. De La Cruz is 19 years old, and a towering 6'5, but still needs to gain weight as he is listed at only 187 lbs. With the depth of the pitching in each level, this guy may be a pitcher other teams target in future dealings with the Tribe. Look for him to be at Kinston sometime later this year with a spot in the Akron rotation looming in 2009.
