Bryan Ramos
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 55 | Run: 50 | Arm: 55 | Field: 55 | Overall: 50
Ramos thrived in Cuba's 15-and-under league for two years before leaving the island, eventually signing with the White Sox for $300,000 in July 2018. He came to the United States for his pro debut the following summer and has been one of the system's most promising hitters ever since. A groin injury cost him most of the first two months of the 2023 season, but he returned to hit .271/.369/.457 with 14 homers in 77 Double-A games at age 21.
Though he's aggressive and repeatedly has been young for his leagues, Ramos has shown the ability to hit the ball hard and drive it in the air throughout his pro career. His right-handed stroke has bat speed and loft and combines with his strength to create at least plus raw power, and he's able to tap into most of it. He has enough feel for the barrel to become a solid hitter as well if he can curb a tendency to chase pitches out of the strike zone.
The White Sox love Ramos' makeup as much as his physical ability, and he has worked hard to improve his strength, speed and flexibility since turning pro. He has turned himself into an average runner and will flash solid speed once he gets going, though he's somewhat conservative on the bases. He has enhanced his range as well, becoming a solid defender at third base with arm strength to match, though his throwing accuracy can be inconsistent. -mlb.com
I'm trying to get an updated pack out in the next 48 hours, but every time I think I am ready, there is one more debut or prospect that I look at that needs revision. Ramos debuted the other day. I apologize for this "before" facegen still existing. I wish I could audit the old CUF pack files for quality more quickly.
