Landon
Ruoff

One of the more intriguing prospects in attendance was '25 3B Landon Ruoff (Leo). Ruoff immediately passes the eye test with a projectable, 6-foot-4, 210 pound frame. The left-handed hitting infielder flashed real bat strength with a peak exit velocity of 98.9 mph. Ruoff hits out of a balanced stance, using a small load before delivery a barrel that works downhill & direct. The swing is geared towards leveraging the ball to the pull-side, but the forward move tends to get heavy on the front foot to create some inconsistencies. Also a standout on the basketball court - the frame makes it easy to dream on Ruoff developing even more pull-side strength, and he showed the best bat speed numbers of the day, averaging 78.4 mph while peaking at 83.4 mph.
