Ramon Urias

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Baltimore Orioles #28 prospect in 2020
  TRACK RECORD: The Rangers signed Urias as a 16-year-old in 2010 but relinquished his rights to the Mexican League before the 2013 season. Urias grew into one of the league's top hitters over the next five seasons, batting a combined .323, and signed with the Cardinals as a free agent in 2018. The Cardinals designated Urias for assignment in early February and he was claimed by the Orioles.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: The older brother of Padres second baseman Luis Urias, Ramon resembles his little brother as an undersized middle infielder with natural hitting instincts. He recognizes pitches, works himself into favorable counts and has the hand-eye coordination to consistently put the barrel on the ball. He is an average hitter with enough power to keep pitchers honest, reaching double-digit home runs each of the last two seasons. Urias is an average defender at both second and third base and is playable at shortstop in short spurts. He is an average runner who covers the requisite ground in the infield.
  
  THE FUTURE: Urias is on the 40-man roster and in position to make his big league debut as a utilityman.
