Harold Ramírez, a former MLB player, has signed with the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos in Mexico, looking to regain his form after a challenging 2024 season. Ramírez's career has been marked by low walk rates and home runs, making his performance highly susceptible to batted ball luck. After showing promise with the Rays, he faltered in 2024 and transitioned through various teams, ultimately leading to this signing. He hopes regular playing time in Mexico could attract MLB interest again.
Over the 2019 to 2021 seasons, he suited up for the Guardians and Marlins, getting 818 plate appearances in that time. His .315 batting average on balls in play was actually a bit above league average.
By taking a job in Mexico, he's surely hoping to carve out some regular playing time and show that he can still swing it. If he looks to be in good form, the no-cost buyout could lead some club to pick him up.
Ramírez has played first base and the outfield in his career but isn't considered a strong defender, so his offensive drop-off last year really put a dent in his value.
Regression came in 2024. His BABIP dropped to .320 and he only walked 2% of the time, with just two homers in 246 plate appearances.
