Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz’s defensive numbers this year are alarming because he had better stats in almost every area of his game during his rookie season.
Sure, the outcome wasn’t what Ruiz wanted, but his process and mechanics were sound. There was nothing else he could’ve done.
“Everybody’s talking about numbers throwing to second base — your confidence level goes down. He’s been there,” said Blanco, who noted that Ruiz looked pumped up after nearly getting Kelenic. “Trying to get that feeling back for him is huge. I’m pretty sure I’ll see him throw more guys out at second base and get that confidence back.”Opponents tried to steal second base 51 times when Ruiz was behind the plate last season. He threw out 14 of them — tied for second most in the majors.
