Jose Ramirez debuted for the Cleveland Indians on September 1, 2013 at the age of 20. I remember thinking to myself, “whoa, who’s this kid running around looking like he’s ready to run through a brick wall any second?”
Maybe it was because he was only 20. Maybe it’s due to the fact he was a little bit of a low profile signing out of the Dominican Republic in 2009 after he had just turned 17. All I knew back then was this kid soared through the farm system, caught my eye immediately and I was excited to see him grow in the future.
