Johnny Ruffin  
Starting Pitcher | Anaheim Angels

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Ruffin's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. The Anaheim Angels hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has a quick release to the plate, which allows catchers a chance to throw out basestealers. Ruffin is nothing special in the field. Ruffin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ruffin has some pop in his swing.
