Sox take Peter Ruiz in the 10th Round
The Boston Red Sox have selected RHP Peter Ruiz out of Santa Barbara City College. The 6'3'' 205 lbs pitcher made eighteen appearances while making nine starts on the season. Ruiz pitched 65 2/3 innings between the rotation and the bullpen going 6-6 with a 3.97 ERA while striking out 59 and walking 38. The converted position player (1B) features a low 90's fastball and a sharp 12-6 curveball. Ruiz has signed on with Oregon for this coming Fall, but if he is signed by the Sox look for him to make his debut in Lowell.
