2023 Player Outlook

2023 Recap: It was a breakout 2023 for Ruiz as he put together a .260/.308/.409 slash line with 18 HR, 67 RBI, 55 R, and a steal in 136 games. The strikeout rate fell from 2022 to 2023 while the ISO rose, a lot, from .109 in 2022 to .149 in 2023. That being said, his walk rate dropped, as did his exit velocity, and his hard-hit rate and he produced a below average wRC+ at 93. 

2024 Outlook: Ruiz is a catcher who plays in a lot of games, that should continue once again in 2024. However, if we’re looking for another breakout, we’re unlikely to see that. His underlying metrics suggest 2023 might be the tops of his power and run-producing ability while his average has room to improve. All told a stat line similar to his 2023 one is what should be expected in 2024 for Ruiz.
