04/28/2013 - College PREP - Mesa (Phoenix), AZ John continues to make improvements in his game. He projects best as a SS. Defensively, he maintains active footwork as he is aggressive and works around ground balls. He moves well laterally and makes the backhand play smoothly. Offensively, this right-handed hitter displays good rhythm, getting him into a solid launch position. He makes hard contact, by delivering the barrel quickly to and through the zone. Ruiz also got on the mound at his latest event. FB ranges from 76-78 mph while SL shows 10/4 shape with sharp break. He uses his lower 1/2 well to drive off the mound and the ball has some late explosion out of his hand. John should get some looks to advance his game to the next level.
