Naythen Ruehs: SS/2B, (2022) out of Plymouth South, MA. is a 6-foot, 175-pound two-way prospect. At the plate, the right-handed hitter recorded an exit velocity of 94 MPH. He starts in a balanced, athletic stance with relaxed hands. The swing is simple. He uses a flat path and good extension to produce a lot of solid contact. Defensively, Ruehs was 83 MPH on his throws across the diamond. As he worked through the ground balls, he showed athletic feet, sure hands, and a clean exchange. He moves well laterally and uses a short ¾ arm slot. Ruehs also registered a 60 time of 7.0. On the mound, Ruehs used a short ¾ arm slot to produce a heavy sink on a fastball that sit 82-83 MPH. The delivery is controlled, balanced and allows him to get consistent direction to home plate. He lands square with an athletic finish.

5-foot-10, 150-pound right-handed hitting middle infielder. He showed extremely well for me at the event. The approach in the infield is athletic and appropriate, throwing 81 mph across the diamond. The feet remained active during the process and he showed soft hands. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 82 mph. The setup is even in base, front foot open to start. The front foot closes down as the ball approaches the hitting zone. The path is clean and flat to the ball as he makes solid contact. Keep an eye that the front foot doesnt dive into the plate too much.
Tee Exit Velocity- 82 mph
INF Velocity- 81 mph
