Ruiz was almost a casualty of the William Wood salary dump fiasco, but Nason was able to retain him as a future piece of the Bluebirds roster. The 2041 first round draft pick is no stranger to the BBA Top 100 since his entrance at #99 in 2042. He has remained consistent and is currently ranked #60 and began the season in AA where he has dominated in his six starts throwing 46 innings with a 1.57 ERA WHIP, including a 100 pitch shutout early in the season. While Ruiz doesn’t have the most electrifying stuff, he is very well polished and has four quality pitches in his arsenal. If he continues with those performances, it won’t be long until he forces his way into the Nashville rotation and he could potentially get a call up this season.
