View Draft Report
Ruiz is a 6-foot lefthander with a long track record of performance. His fastball sits 89-90 mph and touches 93 and his changeup is a swing-and-miss pitch. Ruiz has some deception with a crossfire delivery and low arm slot, although that slot doesn’t allow him to throw a quality breaking ball. He has a slider he rarely uses and mostly relies on his fastball and changeup. Ruiz has fringy control. He projects as a lefthanded reliever who generates reverse splits with his fastball and changeup and has a chance to be selected on the draft’s third day.
