Pedro Ramirez, a 22-year-old Chicago Cubs prospect, has gained attention for his impressive performance in Spring Training. A chart from Baseball America highlights his unique ability to make consistent contact in the strike zone while also achieving a high 90th percentile exit velocity. This combination is rare, as many players who excel in one area often struggle in the other. Despite a low average launch angle on his best hits, Ramirez's ability to avoid whiffs in the zone sets him apart from other top prospects.
"Pedro Ramirez is on an island. A very good island. That chart is showing a guy who essentially never misses in the strike zone - think Nico Hoerner or Alex Bregman - but who ALSO really rips the ball when he makes his best contact."
"The 90th Percentile Exit Velocity range for Ramirez is a 60 or 65-grade, around where you see guys like Riley Greene, Manny Machado, or Brandon Lowe. How did Pedro Ramirez become this guy over a single offseason?"
