Keibert Ruiz reflected on his poor performance during the 2024 season, expressing disappointment in his hitting and catching abilities. Ranked at the bottom for on-base percentage and OPS among players with considerable plate appearances, he knows he must improve to validate his role as the Washington Nationals' catcher. Manager Dave Martinez noted that Ruiz is not satisfied with last year's outcomes and is determined to address his shortcomings. Despite the struggles, Ruiz’s multi-year contract complicates decisions about his future role.
I wasn't happy with the year that I had last year. I was disappointed. I tried to see what I did wrong last year.
It's been interesting, because he didn't like anything about last year. He really didn't. He was very - I wouldn't say upset, but he was down on himself.
