Meet Jair Camargo

There are always players at the minor league level that come along without the fanfare of being a high draft pick or a highly ranked international signing. In fact, the majority of players fit that description yet, as my Dad would say, they soldier on and force us to pay attention.

Catcher Jair Camargo is one of those players with the 2019 Great Lakes Loons. It was a bit of a surprise that the 19-year-old from Barranquilla, Colombia was called to fill a roster spot with the Loons this year rather that 20-year-old catcher Ramon Rodriguez.

He was signed by the Dodgers on July 10, 2015, just 10 days after his 16th birthday, and is in his fourth year of professional baseball.
