This is a title

This is a solid collection of skills:

  • A low h% has held down BA, but elite ct% and xBA point to legit .280 BA capabilities. 
  • Below-average xPX suggests 15-20 HR is probably the extent of his power upside, at least for now.
  • Ruiz surprised with 6 SB in 2022 after having attempted to steal just once from 2016-21. Given that pre-2022 history and his 9th percentile sprint speed, view any future contributions in the SB category as a bonus.

Ruiz has shown an elite ability to put the bat on the ball and xBA indicates additional BA upside. Meanwhile, his power skills hint at this being as good as it gets in terms of HR, barring adjustments. Overall, the 25-year-old possesses the skills to make a run at a .280 BA in 2024, though it could come with a HR total closer to 15 than 20.
