I covered both of Wilson Ramos’s season previews in 2020, both for the original adaptation of the season and the truncated, ad-libbed version of this season, and both times I made the same judgement on Ramos: that he was going to have to outhit his defense. Given just how bad his defense is, he was going to hit probably 10 or 20 percent better than league average in order to have real value to the team.
I also opined that, with his offensive inconsistencies in his career and his tendency to hit the ball on the ground, his offensive profile was a risky one with precipitous downside.
