Keibert Ruiz sizzling in May
Last year at this time I’d never heard of Keibert Ruiz but by the end of the 2016 season he had become a hot prospect and quickly rose in the prospect ranking put out in the winter but didn’t crack any top ten lists. I bet that changes this summer. The eighteen-year-old catcher is destroying …
