07/29/2008 - Under Armour Southwest Regional Tournament - 2008 Ruffino has some upside at the plate where his ability rates best. He has some bat speed to work with and good lower half prep. His hands are quick and his stroke is easy to the ball. He needs to focus on relaxing his top half and improving his lower half balance and explosion. He has more in his swing if he will let the ball travel and stay through the ball more. Defensively he projects best in left field. He has some natural ability but needs polish. His routes and angles are good but foot speed needs work for the outfield. He will be able to improve on his arm strength by working lower through his fingers on top of the ball while throwing.
