4th round Noe Ramirez - 美國職棒

BA#93

93. Noe Ramirez, rhp

Cal State Fullerton

Ramirez was lightly recruited and undrafted out of Alhambra (Calif.) High in

2008, but he developed into a top-two-rounds candidate during three stellar

seasons at Cal State Fullerton. Ramirez is 29-5 in his Fullerton career, and

his 1.76 ERA this spring is the best of his career. He was slowed by elbow

tenderness earlier this spring, and he missed two weeks with a sprained ankle

later in the season, but he returned strong. Lean and wiry at 6-foot-3, 180

pounds, Ramirez has gotten stronger since high school, increasing his

fastball velocity from the 86-88 mph range to the 88-91 range now, peaking at

92-93 early in games. He generally commands his fastball well, but his

bread-and-butter is his offspeed stuff. Ramirez credits former Fullerton

great Ricky Romero with teaching him his changeup grip, and he throws his

83-84 mph change with the same arm speed as his fastball, and it has

splitter-like action and deception, rating as a plus to plus-plus pitch. His

slider still gets sweepy at times, but it has improved as is now an average

offering. Ramirez is a fearless competitor with outstanding feel for pitching

and one of the best track records in the draft. He has the stuff and makeup

to become a mid- to late-rotation starter in the big leagues.
