    View Draft Report
    A 35th-round pick of the Cubs out of high school, Ramirez started four years at Southern California while bouncing around to different positions. He settled in as the Trojans’ starting third baseman this spring and hit .304 with 10 home runs and 54 RBIs, all of which led the team. Ramirez is more solid than exceptional. He’s an average defender at third base with an above-average arm and has the versatility to play second base. He makes decent contact from the left side and projects to be a potentially fringe-average hitter. Ramirez’s biggest development this spring was his power increased from well below-average to potentially fringe-average. He doesn’t project to hit enough to be an everyday player, but his increased power gives him a better chance to stick on a big league bench with his defensive versatility. He projects to be taken late on the draft’s second day or early on the third day.
