Agustín Ramírez DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Marlins catching prospect Agustin Ramirez went 2-for-4 with his first home run of the Triple-A regular season on Wednesday against Charlotte. This outing extended his current hitting streak to five games. Through the first 10 games of Triple-A Jacksonville's regular season, Ramirez has posted a .275/.318/.475 slash line with five doubles, one long ball, and a 3:13 BB:K. Ramirez has also swiped two bags and tallied seven RBI. The 23-year-old was in contention to break camp with the major league roster but fell just short in the competition. However, if the backstop can begin to hit for power, he may not need much more time in the minor leagues. Last summer, across 68 games at Triple-A, he posted a .245/.345/.411 line. If he continues to perform well, he could find a role in the majors as Nick Fortes and Liam Hicks have yet to show consistent production in the major leagues.

Miami Marlins catching prospect Agustin Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville. Ramirez was competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster during camp. In spring training, Ramirez held a .235/.381/.647 line with one double and two home runs. With Ramirez opening the season at the Triple-A level, fantasy managers should expect Nick Fortes, Liam Hicks, and Rob Brantly to compete for starts in the majors. The Marlins acquired Ramirez from the New York Yankees in the trade that sent Jazz Chisholm Jr. to the Bronx. Across 68 games at the Triple-A level, the 23-year-old held a .246/.345/.411 slash line with 12 doubles and nine home runs. Fantasy managers in NL-only formats should continue to monitor his progression at Triple-A, as he should be in contention to make his MLB debut later in the season.

Miami Marlins catcher/first base prospect Agustin Ramirez belted his first home run of the spring on Thursday, and it couldn't have come at a better time. With the Marlins trailing 1-0 in the ninth, Ramirez drilled a solo blast that would tie the game 1-1, which would go on to be the final score in the Grapefruit League contest. Ramirez ranks as the Marlins' No. 4 overall prospect, but although he is a catcher by trade, most believe he'll end up at first base, which might be how he gets to the majors sooner rather than later. Miami has veteran Nick Fortes penciled in as the starter with fellow prospect Liam Hicks expected to win the backup role come Opening Day. The 23-year-old hit 25 home runs last season between Double-A and Triple-A but flashed some sneaky base-stealing chops, swiping 22 bags during the campaign. The right-handed hitter also draws a lot of walks, helping him to a career .354 OBP in the minors. An offensive-minded catcher is appealing in fantasy, and he also carries eligibility at both C and 1B, adding to his rosterability once he gets to the big leagues, which should be sometime in 2025.
