Apparently, Ruiz has exceeded 45 days on the Nats and Dodgers active rosters so he has lost "rookie" status in 2021. He had 22 days in 2020 with the Doyers. He will not be eligible for RoTY in 2022, nor will Gray.
This article ranks him 4th among all
2021 rookies in terms of long term value, behind Franco, Kelenic, and Hayes.
Part of the Trea Turner/Max Scherzer trade with the Dodgers in July, Ruiz is a switch-hitter with advanced contact skills, burgeoning power and a chance to be a solid defender at a premium position.
Gray ranks 18th.
