Victor Ruiz is a 16-year old prospect that the Cincinnati Reds signed from the Mexican League. The Mexican League is usually filled with a combination of fringe major leaguers looking for spring training invites and Mexican nationals looking to represent their country. Ruiz is Mexican, having played on the U18 team for Mexico in the Pan-American Tournament.
The reports on Ruiz show some significant variation. Some scouts see his upside as a low end Evan Gattis type player. Some one who can catch and play passable outfield with enough power to run into some home runs. Right now, Ruiz appears to be more of a an OBP threat than a slugger.
