Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos was kidnapped Wednesday in his
native Venezuela.

Ramos' winter league club confirmed the kidnapping to The Denver Post's
Rafael Rojas and other reporters. Rojas is covering Ramos’ club for a
Venezuelan newspaper.

Another Venezuelan newspaper, El Nacional (English translation here),
reported that four armed men took the 24-year-old Ramos near his home in
Valencia. Ramos' condition is not known, and there has been no word of
possible demands by his captors.

"Extremely upsetting news about Ramo. Thoughts and prayers with him. Scary
situation," Nationals closer Drew Storen said via his Twitter account
Wednesday evening.

Ramos' kidnapping is the latest in a series of incidents involving major
league players in Venezuela. Players and their families have been targets for
at least a decade.

In June 2009, the 11-year-old son of then-Colorado Rockies catcher Yorvit
Torrealba was kidnapped, but returned safely. No ransom was paid, according
to reports.

In November of that year, the mother of pitcher Victor Zambrano was taken
from Zambrano's farm near Maracay. She was rescued three days later.

In September 2004, the mother of then-Detroit Tigers pitcher Ugueth Urbina
was rescued after being held captive for 5 1/2 months.

Earlier in the decade, Magglio Ordonez and Richard Hidalgo were robbery
victims, while relatives of Melvin Mora and Omar Infante were murdered.
Kidnappers failed in an attempt to capture Mora's mother.
