TRACK RECORD: After sanctions, Ramos is now the highest-ranked prospect in Atlanta's 2016 international class, which originally included players like Kevin Maitan (Angels) and Yunior Severino (Twins).
SCOUTING REPORT: Ramos faces a difficult path to the majors as a free-swinging right-right left fielder whose entire profile is dependent on his hit tool and power production. His raw power stacks up among the best in Atlanta's system, with scouts giving him plus grades or better in that department, but he has struggled to translate that into games consistently in two years of full-season ball. Ramos will need to make adjustments at the plate and get to at least fringe-average hitting ability to make up for below-average defensive ability that includes below-average speed and arm strength.
THE FUTURE: Ramos should start 2020 back in the Florida State League, where he'll hope to get the bat on the ball more and take advantage of his sole carrying tool. -
Track Record: The Braves' 2016 international class was supposed be a foundation of the farm system. After sanctions, Ramos as one of the few remaining players from that class who could reach Atlanta.
Scouting Report: Ramos' path to the big leagues is difficult because he's a free-swinging left fielder who is limited defensively. Ramos' selectivity needs to improve, but he makes solid contact and his simple swing gives him a path to being a fringe-average hitter. That may be enough if he can get to all of his 20-25 home run power potential. Ramos is limited to left by a below-average arm. Ramos has improved defensively, but he's limited by fringe-average speed and poor jumps. He's a below-average left fielder.
The Future: Ramos will move up to high Class A Florida. He has to keep a close watch on his conditioning, but if he can figure out a better plan at the plate, he could be a big league regular. -
Ramos is going to have to really hit because he's a left fielder who doesn't run all that well. As such, he's already on the wrong end of the defensive spectrum. Virtually all of his value at the big league level would come from his bat. That's a good thing for Ramos because he has a very good chance to hit. Signed for $250,000 as an 18-year-old, Ramos led the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Braves and finished third in the GCL with six home runs despite being promoted to the Rookie-level Appalachian League in early August. Because he's yet to even reach full-season ball, there's plenty of risk with Ramos, but scouts see a hitter who has a chance to hit for plus average and plus power. Defensively, he's a below-average runner. He's improved in the field, but he's a left fielder only thanks to a below-average arm, and he'll have to work to get to average defensively. Because he is a late bloomer, Ramos has to move a little quicker than a 16-year-old signee, and he is ready for low Class A Rome.
