Organization Prospect Rankings

Ramirez signed with the Blue Jays in 2009 as a center fielder, then spent five seasons toiling around in rookie and short-season leagues. After struggling in low Class A Lansing in 2013, Ramirez went back to the Lugnuts to start 2014, but a month into the season he put away his bat and began the conversion to pitching at age 23. Ramirez has only pitched out of the bullpen on his climb up the system, with his breakthrough season coming in 2017. Between Double-A New Hampshire and Triple-A Buffalo last year, Ramirez threw 37.2 innings without allowing an earned run, then continued to pitch well in his major league debut as a September callup. Ramirez has improved his control every season to become a prolific strike-thrower. He attacks hitters with an even mix of fastballs and sliders, getting a heavy dose of swing-and-miss both in and out of the strike zone. He can fill the strike zone with fastballs at 91-94 mph, then misses a lot of bats with a plus slider at 82-85 mph. Ramirez can land his slider for a strike or bury it away from righthanded hitters to get them to swing over the top of it as a chase pitch. Ramirez should return to Toronto's bullpen on Opening Day and stick around for years as a middle reliever.
