Ruiz is .266/.387/.500 with a L7d OPS of 1.825 — the hottest bat in this data set. He just hammered a 384 ft, 105.1 mph exit velocity solo HR on Aug 11 against Pittsburgh's pitching. His vR OPS is 0.831 and Ashcraft is RHP. The market offers over 0.5 total bases at -118 — essentially a coin flip — while Ruiz's recent form makes this one of the clearest mismatches on the board. Any contact at his current exit velocity profile produces at least one total base.
