Agustin Ramirez Stays Hot For Somerset

Yankees backstop prospect Agustin Ramirez is one of the system’s most powerful players. Among those with 50 or more balls in play, his 90th percentile exit velocity of 108.1 mph is second only to Rafael Flores. On Tuesday, he took the starring role in a prospect-laden tilt between his Somerset club and Portland, which featured Red Sox top prospects Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony and Kyle Teel. Ramirez finished the game 4-for-5 with a home run. The blast was his 12th of the season, which vaulted him into a three-way tie for second in the minors.
