A Flock of Bluebirds 2043.2- Juan Ruiz Honored By RHML
October 8, 2042
Juan Ruiz, one of the Nashville Bluebirds top pitching prospects, was honored by the Rupert Horn Memorial League (AAA) today with the 2042 Mitch Cain Hurler Award.
The Award is given to the top pitcher in the league each year. Ruiz, 22 years old, won the award despite joining the Triple-A Orlando Oranges mid season and starting just 17 games for Orlando.
After starting the season with High Point (AA), Ruiz quickly earned a promotion to Orlando by going 3-1 in 7 starts with a 3.63 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 44 strikeouts in 44.2 innings.
With Orlando, he was even better. He went 9-3 with a 2.44 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 107 IP, just 3 HRA, 28 BB and 102 K. Ruiz posted a combined WAR of 5.9 with High Point and Orlando.
Nashville rewarded his excellent season by calling him up to the big club in September. In 6 games (1 start), he was 2-0 with a 6.55 ERA, allowing 5 HR in 11 innings pitched. "Controlling the long ball is going to be the key for Juan," explained Nashville pitching coach Mike Ellison. "Keep the ball in the yard and he'll have a long career in the Brewster."
Ruiz was named the #49 prospect in the BBA heading into the 2042 season.

Impressive to have only allowed 3 HRs with that movement. He does that and you're right, he'll be a success in the BBA.
