Notes

Comments

10/03/23
Ruiz is a well-proportioned 5-foot-10, 180-pound switch-hitter who can spin the ball on the bump. Offensively, Ruiz has a short swing that allows for line drive contact up the middle from the right side with a max hand speed of 25.7 mph. Defensively, Ruiz is sure-handed with a strong arm to pair (87 mph INF velo) up the middle. On the bump, Ruiz is an athletic mover with a short and quick arm. His fastball played at 81-85 mph with carry through the zone (20.2” average IVB), thrown for strikes. Ruiz had two breaking ball offerings with his slider being the one with more feel for the zone (75% in-zone) and his curveball having some sharpness to it. Ruiz rounded out his repertoire with a downer change that flashed feel for the zone with an average HM of 14”.

2/21/22

INF Cristian Ruiz (Oak Lawn, 2023), had a great day showcasing his defensive abilities on the infield.  Ruiz moves with rhythm and tempo on the infield, playing light on his feet which allows his hands to look soft and quick.  He utilizes multiple arm angles and smooth actions to field the ball when on the move and impresses with an 87 mph high across the infield. Ruiz flashed elite level infield actions and is a follow for the class of 2023.

Arm Action: RH. Short draw creates short arm action, almost directly to over-the-top slot. Quick arm speed, loose.
