Keibert Ruiz has started to swing it in the last couple games, going 11 for 21 (.524/.545/.571) in five games leading up to last night’s series finale with the Miami Marlins, and his skipper, Davey Martinez, told reporters before the third of three in loanDepot park that the catcher’s run of success at the plate was in part hits just falling in and in part about some changes he made to his swing.
“A little bit of both,” Martinez said of the work the switch-hitting catcher has done since he joined the organization in a deadline deal with the LA Dodgers.
