Emmanuel Ramirez Signs With Seibu Lions
2 months agoFree-agent pitcher Emmanuel Ramirez signed a one-year deal with the Seibu Lions of Nippon Professional Baseball on Friday. Ramirez will head overseas in 2025 a year after making his major-league debut with the Miami Marlins. He made 15 appearances out of Miami's bullpen and had a 6.97 ERA (4.62 FIP) and 1.40 WHIP with 21 strikeouts and eight walks in 20 2/3 innings pitched. The 30-year-old Dominican hurler pitched for both Triple-A Jacksonville and Triple-A Buffalo (Blue Jays organization) as well in 2024 and posted a 4.20 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 56:17 K:BB in 30 relief appearances over 45 innings pitched. Ramirez will now head to Japan perhaps with the intentions of trying to resurface in the States after a season or two pitching for the Lions.
