Catcher – Keibert Ruiz:

The just turned 20-year-old is currently wrapping up an entire year spent at AA Tulsa. A hit-first catcher whose approach at the plate is seriously advanced for his age managed to make it to number two on mlb.com’s “Top Prospect” list in the Dodgers organization. Turning 20 just a month ago, Ruiz’s overall numbers at AA Tulsa don’t initially excite, until realizing that he was only 19 years old a full year in AA baseball at AA Tulsa.

It should be very interesting to see how he does in the AFL due to the opportunity of being on the biggest stage, with nearly a month to rest and gather himself before play begins, along with the possibility of hitting pitchers who’ve not yet made it as far as he up the MLB ladder, to AA. My bet, he’ll excel.
