Yuri Ramos, who signed with the prestigious Yomiuri Giants in the Japanese professional baseball league, was in the Chicago Cubs minor league.
Fireballer Yuri Ramos (26) from the Dominican Republic will advance to the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).
NPB's prestigious Yomiuri Giants club announced on the 17th that it has signed a training player contract with Ramos. Ramos said through the club, "I'm very happy to be able to join a historic club called the Giants. I will show my fans my best and try to contribute to the team's victory in the future, he said. "I thank the club officials and staff for giving me this opportunity." Ramos's back number is 057.
Ramos has gained experience in the Chicago Cubs Minor League since 2015. Until last year, he pitched in 107 games in the minor leagues (7 years) and recorded 7 wins, 16 losses, and 7 saves with a 5.21 ERA. As a professional bullpen resource, he recorded 6 wins, 1 loss, 2 saves, and a 3.71 ERA in the Mexican League this season. In the Cubs Minor League Double A last year, he also stood out with a 0.56 ERA in 12 games.
Yomiuri's expectations are high as it is known to have recorded a fastball of up to 99.9 miles (160.8 km/h) this season. The case of Christopher Mercedes (currently Chiba Lotte Marines), who recruited him as a nurturing player and grew into a key resource, is a good example. 스포츠토토
