Alex Ramirez Off To Strong Start In Second Half
2 years agoOutfield prospect Alex Ramirez was the New York Mets' biggest international singing in 2019, agreeing to a $2.05 million deal. The Dominican Republic native continues to be viewed as one of New York's top prospects, boasting impressive running skills that bode well for his production on the basepaths and in center field. He has a solid glove and an above-average arm, meaning he could play right field if needed. Offensively, Ramirez's biggest flaw is his inability to make consistent contact. His strikeout rate is higher than ideal, and he has yet to develop the power that many people anticipated. Of course, there's still time considering he's just a teenager and will fill out his 6-foot-3, 170-pound frame. Although Ramirez's offensive production has been far from perfect this season, he certainly caught everyone's attention this past week. In three games since the All-Star Break, he is 8-for-13 with two homers, one double, and five RBI. He walked once, struck out twice, and stole a base during that span. Ramirez projects as someone who could be a well-rounded player in the future, which bodes well for his fantasy baseball value. However, he needs to improve his swing-and-miss factor going forward.
