Keibert Ruiz has faced challenges as a catcher for the Nationals, showing improvement in defense but struggling offensively. His approach at the plate isn’t yielding expected results.
Defensive stats are difficult to gauge in a single season; it often takes retrospective analysis to understand a player’s true ability, as seen with Ruiz’s fluctuating performances.
Ruiz's current offensive approach—trying to swing at pitches earlier to hit them in the air—has led to fewer walks and not enough power in his hits.
As a catcher, Ruiz's average skills behind the plate might suffice, but his offensive struggles mean he needs to adapt, especially given his lack of speed.
