On Friday afternoon, the Detroit Tigers selected the contract of LHP Nick Ramirez from Triple-A Toledo. This move came in correspondence to optioning RHP Zac Reininger back to the minors.
Nick Ramirez will make his way to the Majors with a very interesting background. He was drafted in the 4th round of the 2011 MLB draft by the Milwaukee Brewers with plans of being a first baseman. Then he made the switch to pitcher during the Brewers Instructional League in 2016, however, still continued to play first base.
