Danny Ruiz

Danny's relationship with baseball is personal before it's analytical - his father emigrated from the Dominican Republic with deep roots in the game, and that history shapes everything he writes. He brings together rigorous sabermetric thinking and deeply human storytelling, with a particular focus on the Latin American scouting pipeline and what it costs the players who move through it. His columns are as much about people as they are about numbers.
