The Blue Jays acquired Harold Ramirez along with Reese McGuire and Francisco Liriano from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for pitcher Drew Hutchison in 2016. Ramirez has had an up and down minor league career thus repeating Double-A for the third time in 2018.
The 24-year old was the Eastern League batting champ last season hitting .320/.365/.471 with 11 home runs and 16 stolen bases in 120 games with the Fisher Cats. Ramirez is also enjoying a successful Venezuelan Winter League campaign where he is currently hitting .366 in 36 games with Caracas.
