Carlos Ruiz

What I admire most about Carlos Ruiz is the arc hidden in his nickname: he started as the Little Fish and earned his way to simply the Fish. Coming out of CSD Municipal's academy and turning into a goal machine across five MLS clubs is no small feat for a striker from a small Central American nation. At 175 cm he was never an imposing presence, so everything he achieved rested on instinct in the box and relentless finishing. He is the kind of player whose value lives in numbers on the scoresheet, and I find that purity genuinely compelling.
