Atlanta Braves

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

José Ruiz has thrown 6,038 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (96mph) and Curve (85mph), also mixing in a Change (89mph) and Sinker (95mph). He also rarely throws a Slider (86mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has well above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their curve is thrown extremely hard, has primarily 12-6 movement, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo and has slight armside run. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement.
