Game Performance

Notes

Comments

3/05/23

Ruden stands 5-foot-10, 170-pounds with an athletic frame. Ruden showed off his quick twitch athleticism with a 6.74 60-yard dash with an impressive burst and quick turnover to his strides. Ruden showcased his short compact swing during his BP round, hitting line drives through the middle of the field and topping out at 90.7 mph on his hardest hit ball of the day. He showed balance and barrel control through the swing throughout the round which should translate well to the game. From the outfield, Ruden showed solid arm strength throwing the ball 86 mph with good carry and accuracy.
