Player Outlook
He's not a great defensive catcher, but Agustin Ramirez does enough things well to likely carve out a prominent role for Miami as early as this summer. Agustin makes his share of weak contact (23.7 Soft%), but he struck out 18.6 percent of the time and walked at an 11.3 percent clip, leading to a .361 OBP last year while splitting time between Double-A and Triple-A as a 22-year-old. He's not fast, but he stole 22 bases in 24 attempts and hit 25 homers in 126 games. The Marlins acquired Ramirez at the deadline along with two other prospects in exchange for Jazz Chisholm, and while there's nobody to really contend with at the big-league level (Nick Fortes has been worth 0.6 fWAR each of the last two seasons), Double-A catcher Joe Mack represents a viable challenger for catcher work in the coming years. Ramirez's poor defense could lead to him getting significant run at designated hitter, which could result in him being a top 10 fantasy catcher in terms of plate appearances during his prime.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Goes yard Thursday

    Rotowire
    Ramirez went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta. Liam Hicks got the start at catcher for Miami, but Ramirez's first long ball of the spring still came against a reliever with a good chance of breaking camp on Atlanta's 26-man roster in Angel Perdomo. Ramirez is expected to begin the campaign back at Triple-A Jacksonville, where he slashed .270/.368/.461 in 39 games last season after being acquired from the Yankees in the Jazz Chisholm trade, but Nick Fortes (groin) has been banged up early in camp and offers very little with his bat even when he's healthy. If Ramirez has a quick start to the year in Jacksonville, he should make his big-league debut this summer, and a more serious injury for Fortes could accelerate that timeline even further.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Showing tools this spring

    Rotowire
    Ramirez continues to work on his defense in an effort to stick as a catcher when he reaches the major leagues, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Acquired from the Yankees in last year's Jazz Chisholm trade, Ramirez's bat has never been in question -- Wednesday, he posted an exit velocity of 115.1 mph, the sixth-fastest hit recorded by any player this spring and a mark topped among 2024 MLB catchers by only William Contreras -- but the 23-year-old still has work to do on his pitch framing, blocking and release time on base-stealing attempts. Ramirez showed up early to camp to try and improve in all those areas, however, and his work ethic has been noticed by the Marlins' coaching staff. "We've been hammering all of it," catching coach Joe Singley said this week. "I think he's super talented, and there's a lot of low hanging fruit there. We're getting him in positions where he can let that athleticism go, slightly adjusting some things to help him block the ball and receive it without having to think about it too much. Just clearing up some positions for him to be an athlete." Ramirez is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Jacksonville, but if Nick Fortes' back issues linger into Opening Day, it could open up a spot for the organization's top catching prospect to make his MLB debut.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Chance to claim starting job

    Rotowire
    Ramirez is expected to begin the season with Triple-A Jacksonville, but a strong performance in spring training could force the Marlins' hands, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. The headliner in the Jazz Chisholm deal with the Yankees last year, Ramirez slashed .250/.351/.419 in 68 games between Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Jacksonville at the Triple-A level with nine homers and nine steals, but he performed much better in the Marlins' system after the trade, posting an .829 OPS in 163 plate appearances for Jacksonville compared to a .692 mark for Scranton. Miami will be in no rush to start his service clock, but the team also has very little standing in his way at catcher, with Nick Fortes having failed to reach a .600 OPS in either of the last two seasons. If Ramirez stands out in camp, the Marlins could consider accelerating the timeline for the 23-year-old.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Dealt to Miami

    Rotowire
    The Yankees acquired Ramirez and infielders Jared Serna and Abrahan Ramirez from the Marlins on Saturday in exchange for Jazz Chisholm, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Ramirez is viewed as the headliner of the Marlins' three-player return package. The 22-year-old catcher slashed .224/.328/.364 with four home runs and five stolen bases in 125 plate appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since getting promoted from Double-A Somerset in June. With Austin Wells, Jose Trevino and Carlos Narvaez ahead of him on the organizational catching depth chart in New York, Ramirez wasn't on track to make his MLB debut in the near future, but the move to Miami could expedite his arrival to the big leagues. Nick Fortes and Ali Sanchez have been sharing catching duties for the Marlins, but both have OPSes under .500 for the season.

  • Yankees' Agustin Ramirez: Joins 40-man

    Rotowire
    The Yankees selected Ramirez to their 40-man roster Tuesday. After starting the season in Single-A, Ramirez hit his way up to Double-A Somerset, where his bat cooled down significantly to end the year. The 22-year-old Ramirez is now the sixth catcher on the Yankees' 40-man roster.
