Rubin had himself a day for Lake County Lightning in their first game of the PBR at The Rock Summer Championships. From the RH batters box, Rubin sets up stiff with hand wiggle to a slight leg lift trigger. Rubin is an aggressive hitter, hunting fastballs early into the count throughout Thursday afternoon. While on the infield dirt, Rubin is a reliable up-the-middle defender as his athleticism allows him to cover a lot of ground.
