Manny Ramirez Stats & Scouting Report

Top Rankings

Track Record: Signed for a modest $50,000, Ramirez has quickly proven to be an astute signing. Pitching in Houston's tandem-starter system, he allowed zero or one run in eight of his 12 outings, but when he struggled, he really struggled, leading to an inflated 4.76 ERA in the Gulf Coast League.

Scouting Report: Ramirez is undersized without much room to fill out further, but his arm strength is big league-caliber. He already has a plus, 95-97 mph fastball that can blow hitters away. He generates velocity from a compact, fluid motion. His inexperience is much more apparent when he breaks off his curveball. He flashes an ability to spin it, but his control of the breaking ball wavers and he mixes loopy, slow curves with harder, tighter, power breakers. Ramirez's control also has a ways to go, but with his delivery, he has the building blocks to develop at least average control.

The Future: Ramirez is far from Houston, but he has the foundation and arm of a future power reliever. He'll likely begin the 2019 season in extended spring training.
