After A set up stolen base record from Al Rookie, AS Speedster could begin in minors

As early as 2023, A's Outfield Esteury Ruiz led the American League in stolen bases and broke Ricey Henderson's rookie base record in the franchise story of A. He also set the bar for a rookie from the American League and in 1992 with 67 of his own Kenny Lofton's set.

After a slow start to the 2025 Cactus League, Ruiz was able to start the start of the 2025 season with the triple-a partner of the Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) after a slow start.

The A originally acquired Ruiz in a three-team trade in the Atlanta Braves and Ruiz 'former squad, the Milwaukee Brewers. The deal sent Sean Murphy from A to Atlanta and also sent Braves' Star Backstop William Contreras to Milwaukee. Contreras has been the best player in this package so far.

The club sent Murphy to Atlanta, but sent the right -handed Joel Payamps to the brewery. In return for both, the A -A -Müller, Freddy Tarnok, Royber Salinas, and the veteran catcher Manny Piña, the former Braves -Top Prospect Kyle Muller, Freddy Tarnok. The A of Brewers would get a young and fast outfield, Estonian Ruiz.

Ruiz originally debuted with the San Diego Padres before he was treated Milwaukee in the trade, who sent Ryan Buchter, Trevor Cahill and Brandon Maurer to San Diego. Ruiz only got eight bats with the brewers in front of the Murphy trade, where he did not record a single goal. Ruiz also had 27 record appearances with the Padres this season.

When the fans in Ruiz 'first season in Oakland were on the way, they were excited to see the young and fast outfield and how he could get out in the future of the club's outfield. At the beginning of the 2023 season, he proposed twice in the nine hole. Finally he worked up in the line -up and became the majority of the second half of the Leadoff Schlagmann.

His 2023 season was pretty impressive, especially when you consider that he was just a newcomer. He ended his season with a .254 AVG, .309 OBP, 30 additional base hits and in particular 67 stolen bases. This would make many believe that Ruiz would be Future A for many years.

This season he was also a hitter of the coupling, and if it had a runner on the second, he was almost automatically driving her home.

To start the 2024 season, A everyone shocked by sending Estony Ruiz back in the first week of the season. Ruiz released a .429 AVG this week and he had his impressive campaign from 2023.

When it comes to optimizing Ruiz, it was a structure of the squad, with the newly acquired Tyler Nevin taking its place on the squad. He was used as a train club with Seth Brown to open the season. Nevin was a veteran option with a little more pop.

General Manager of A, David Forst, made it known that the decision to send Ruiz should set his swing and approach to make him the future Leadoff -Schlagmann that the team had introduced.

“On strikeouts and the start of the base are things that we spoke to him over the last season … He made some good adjustments this spring.

When Ruiz returned to the big leagues, he fought. He fought with 5 additional base hits and 5 stolen bases before a wrist injury was required that required surgery.

When Esteury Ruiz for spring training, it was expected that he did not bring in the A on the opening day as a starter. Instead, Fangraphs' cadre resource Ruiz had performed as a bank player for the team, with Bleday in the middle, butler in the right and Brown/Andrjar on the left field.

After the game of A against the Angel's on March 1, Ruiz had a 0-to-2 day with a strike. This made its spring training line a rough 0-to-11 line. He would collect his first goal of spring, a double against which Chicago White Sox on Monday.

With its slow start in the Cactus League and many competition for spots in the outer field of A, the team was able to flirt with the idea of ​​starting Estonian Ruiz in Triple-A to create a place for someone like Darell Hernaiz who can play several information positions.

Ruiz could not only continue to work on his swing, but he was also able to get the everyday season that he would not be included in the big leagues this season with the crowded outdoor field.

Both parties could benefit from this transaction, since the team would also allow an additional space for an infield, or so the team can keep an additional backup catcher in addition to Tyler Soder current, which also receives repetitions at the first basis.
