Good morning, Mets fans!
MLB wrote an article on one prospect they expect to break out per team in 2022, and Alex Ramirez was their choice for the Mets.
Ramirez is the seventh-ranked prospect in the Mets organization, and 2021 was his first season in the minors. In Port St. Lucie, Ramirez had a slash line of .258/.326/.384 with five home runs and 35 RBIs over 76 games. While the slugging numbers aren’t incredible, he is projected to be an all-around good hitter in the future.
The former international signing could fit into the future outfield for the Mets. His speed is seen as his most valuable attribute as of right now, but is projected to be talented in every facet of the game.
