What would a well trained (physically) Ruth look like and play like today?
Ruth outmanned everyone of his peers in his prime, sometimes out homering entire clubs. Ruth .690 CAREE slugging %. (By far the greatest) Ruth won 7 World Series Titles. (3 with the Red Sox, 4 with the Yankees). This has to play somehow in the discussion.

I don't see why anyone would suggest Ruth wouldn't be Ruth in any era. He hit home runs, yeah, but he was also a career 342 hitter. That doesn't happen by accident. He would probably hit over 1,000 home runs if he were playing today in modern stadiums. There's nothing to suggest Ruth couldn't hit a fastball so I don't think an occasional 100 MPH is going to stymie a guy who hit 342 on average.
