TRACK RECORD: The Mariners selected Ramirez from the Astros in the 2019 Rule 5 draft, taking advantage of Houston's 40-man roster crunch. Despite well below-average control, Ramirez's lightning-fast arm was worth the risk. He walked nearly a batter an inning in his 20.2 major league innings in 2020, but still posted a 2.61 ERA and limited opponents to a .130 batting average over 26 appearances.
SCOUTING REPORT: Ramirez sits 95-96 mph with his fastball and it would be a plus-plus pitch if he had just a bit more command. His heater has natural sink and he gets plenty of swings and misses when he throws it in the strike zone. Ramirez also flashes a plus 82 mph slider with sweeping action. He has occasionally used a curveball and changeup, but moving forward he's going to focus strictly on his fastball and slider mix. Ramirez has some deception in his max-effort, high three-quarters delivery. His well below-average control works to his advantage somewhat because batters can't dig in and get comfortable in the box.
THE FUTURE: Considering his relative inexperience, there's a chance Ramirez can harness his control and take on a high-leverage bullpen role. Regardless, he should be back in the Seattle bullpen in 2021.
