Agustín Ramírez hit a three-run homer in one of his two at-bats off the bench Monday against the Dodgers.
Ramírez had been 1-for-24 since his two-homer game on Apr. 28, which is probably part of why he didn’t start tonight. Especially with the Marlins having Nick Fortes back — he’s caught the last two days — Ramírez is probably not a mixed-league catcher right now, even though he still offers that kind of potential.
Agustín Ramírez is starting at catcher and batting cleanup on Monday against the Dodgers.
Ramírez has been the talk of the fantasy baseball universe since arriving in the majors last week, hitting .474 (9-for-19) with three homers, five RBI and one steal through his first five games. The 23-year-old has some legitimate defensive concerns, but he’s one of the most advanced hitters of any catching prospect in the game and possesses uncommon stolen base prowess for a below-average runner. He’s rostered in all fantasy formats at this juncture and should remain a middle-of-the-order run producer in the heart of Miami’s lineup.
Agustín Ramírez went 2-for-5 and clobbered a pair of solo home runs on Sunday afternoon, but it wasn’t enough to power the Marlins past the Mariners in Seattle.
The 23-year-old phenom opened the scoring in the ballgame with a 404-foot (105.1 mph EV) solo shot off of Logan Evans in the top half of the first inning. He then tagged Collin Snider for a 421-foot (108.7 mph EV) blast in the sixth inning that pulled the Marlins to within four runs at 7-3. Fantasy managers who were hoping Ramírez would have a quiet debut so they could sneak him through for a reasonable bid on Sunday night are completely out of luck as he has slashed a ridiculous .474/.524/1.158 with three homers, five RBI and a stolen base. Expect him to remain a force in the middle of the Marlins’ lineup.
Augustin Ramirez hit a two-run homer in Friday’s 8-4 win over the Mariners on Friday.
