Mets fans are probably most familiar with Wilson Ramos—nicknamed “The Buffalo”—for the seven seasons he spent with the Nationals between 2010 and 2016. Coming up through the Twins organization, Ramos was known for his hitting ability and strong arm behind the plate. He threw out 43% of potential base stealers in his minor league career and was ranked as the Twins’ third best prospect by Baseball America entering the 2009 season, behind Aaron Hicks and Ben Revere, and was the 71st-ranked prospect overall. Ramos got a brief cup of coffee in the major leagues in 2010 for the Twins, filling in for the injured Joe Mauer behind the plate.
