Ramos

Ramos' performance at our PBR at The Rock Fall Championships was the latest example of his natural hit tool. The Arrowhead senior was one of the WIAA’s most productive hitters within one of its most competitive conferences, and he’s managed to maintain his production this summer and, now, fall. He generates bat speed well and incorporates his strength to drive the ball, and his barrel feel allows him to use the entire field while doing so. He moves well for size, and he’s made progress as a defender at third base, with the arm strength to continue to profile at the position.
