Heliot Ramos' advancement offensively 'really encouraging to see' for Giants

Heliot Ramos looks more like a college safety playing football than a center fielder in the minor leagues. From his beard to his build, this isn't your average 19-year-old.

Giants farm director Kyle Haines agrees.

“The physical tools are obviously there," Haines said on Tuesday's Inside The San Jose Giants Podcast.

Ramos, the Giants' first-round pick in the 2017 MLB Draft is listed at 6-foot-1 and 188 pounds. In person, he appears his muscular build appears even thicker, and at his young age there's still plenty of time for growth. His stature and potential turned the Giants on to drafting him No.
