Harold Ramirez was on nobody’s radar when the 2019 Marlins took the field. Despite a strong Spring Training that saw him go 11-for-34 over 22 contests, Ramirez was relegated from the Marlins to the New Orleans Baby Cakes in the Triple-A Pacific Coast League to start the season.
A 5-foot-10, 220 lb. right-handed hitting outfielder from Cartagena, Columbia, Ramirez began his professional career in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization in 2012. He later played in the Toronto Blue Jays organization. On November 2nd of last year, he elected free agency.
Born on September 6th, 1994, the then-24-year-old Ramirez was entering what should be the prime years of a professional baseball player’s career when Miami inked him to a minor league deal on November 27th.
