Ruleford made his PBR event debut in Milwaukee. Listed at 5-foot-9, 158-pounds, Ruleford showed well on the mound. The left-hander showed an athletic delivery with tempo with a fastball that sat 75-76 mph (76.7 max) with arm-side run. His curveball played with slurve actions, and he showed above average feel for the pitch. He showed quality spin on the pitch with an average of 2,213 rpm. To round out his three-pitch mix he threw a changeup that showed sink at times. At the plate, he showed relaxed hands with the ability to drive the ball to both gaps.
