The Washington Nationals have placed a significant bet on Keibert Ruiz, extending him for eight years and $50 million after a promising start. However, the last two seasons have raised serious questions about whether he can live up to that investment. With a defensive performance that was historically poor in 2023 and a troubling decline in offensive production in 2024, fans are left wondering: can Ruiz turn it around in 2025?
Let’s dive into the debate. What do you think is the root cause of Ruiz's struggles? Is it a matter of technique, mental approach, or perhaps the pressure of expectations? Given that the Nationals have drafted two college catchers, do you think the organization is already losing faith in him?
Bold prediction time: will Ruiz bounce back to become a reliable starter, or is he destined to be a backup catcher moving forward? And if he doesn’t improve, what should the Nationals do next?
Share your thoughts, experiences with similar player situations, and any insights you have on how catchers can overcome such challenges. Let’s get the conversation rolling!
