He's a gap hitter and has a sweet swing. He is under 25 years old.

He was one of the best 1B prospects in Cuba.

Ruiz, has a .330 lifetime average in his five-year career, but hasn't displayed a ton of power. The 6-foot-3, 230 pounder can move better than his size would indicate, and has played some left field.

Has some speed 52-sb, and a good batting eye based on his k/bb but again it's Cuba which is like AA

No, I haven't seen him play. This was from the web

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow, what a Ride!"
